ArtinoMagic Pad For violin / viola Red crab shape
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Crab-shaped foam shoulder pad for violin and viola. For players who want a little lift and grip without a clamp-on shoulder rest.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Young students starting out on violin or viola
- Players who dislike the bulk of a metal shoulder rest
- Keeping the instrument from sliding on a bare shoulder
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need adjustable height or tilt
- Longer necks that need a tall shoulder rest
- Anyone wanting a rigid rest that holds a set position
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Crab shape
The arms wrap toward the edges, so it stays put and reads as a toy to younger students.
Detail 03
Violin and viola fit
Sized for the back of a violin or viola. It does not span a cello back.
Detail 04
Red finish
Easy to spot in a case or on a stand, which matters in a group class where cases look alike.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check how it attaches to your instrument before your first rehearsal.
- 02Adds little height. Long-necked players will still want a proper shoulder rest.
- 03Wipe the instrument back occasionally, since any pad traps dust against the varnish.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a shoulder rest?
No. It is a soft pad that adds grip and a little cushioning. A shoulder rest is a rigid frame with adjustable feet and height.
02Will it fit a 1/2 or 3/4 size violin?
It is made for violin and viola generally. On smaller fractional sizes it covers proportionally more of the back but still works.
03Does it damage the varnish?
It rests against the back rather than clamping the edges. Keep the pad and the instrument clean so grit does not get trapped underneath.
04Can I use it with a chin rest?
Yes. It sits on the shoulder side of the instrument, so it works alongside a normal chin rest.
