Thank you! It is a rolled-up cloth wrapped in shelf liner. It sits on top/behind my collarbone to create an even surface. So the contact point with the violin is much closer to my neck than any shoulder rest would be - it feels like playing without a shoulder rest but with extra support for the collarbone. Sometimes I secure it with a rubber band but most of the time I just put it under my shirt. In this video it looks like I had it secured at a slightly different angle with a rubber band, nowadays I always align it entirely parallel to my collarbone. My setup is very particular to the shape of my shoulder/collarbone, it probably won't work for many people but it's definetely worth trying. Hope that helps:)
@@elliottpdavismusic Thank you for such a detailed response! I can visualize what you are talking about. You looked so relaxed despite having a longer neck so I had to ask. I am going to experiment with what you did here. Keep up the great work!
