This is a shoulder rest purchased at a violin specialty store along with a 1/4 size violin. I used it for about two years. There are scratches on the cushion part. See photos 2 and 3. There is no problem with use, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. When shipping, I will disassemble it and wrap it in packing material. Thank you. - Brand: Everest - Model Name: LHA-100 - Color: Blue - Material: Plastic Thank you for looking.
