Violin Setup Journey: shoulder rests, chinrests, etc

Today I'll give you a glimpse of how my violin setup has evolved over the years, as well as some tools to experiment with setup on your own. It's crucial to find the balance of understanding and efficiency while not over-engineering your setup altogether. I'll even show you a little invention I am working on to replace shoulder rests!
