Setting up the violin/viola hold - chin and shoulder rests, angle and slope

[@jimblackmore1852]

Laurel's explanation is very helpful, the best detailed instruction on chin and shoulder rests I have seen. Thank you. NJ

Great to hear you found my video helpful. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the explanation. I haven't had a proper fitting and thought the neck strain I've been having was due to the shoulder rest.

Could certainly be, or a shoulder rest that's just set too high (vs a lifted chin rest) causing instability and leading to neck tension, or a chin rest that keeps slipping out or otherwise feeling insecure.
