What matters in use
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 01
Fits the three smallest common fractional violins. Once a student moves to 1/2, this rest is outgrown.
Detail 02
Legs fold flat against the body so the rest fits in the case with the violin. Fewer lost rests.
Detail 03
Cosmetic only. Does not change fit, height, or how the rest grips the instrument.
Detail 04
Height and angle can be set to the student's neck and shoulder. Worth setting with a teacher rather than guessing.
Detail 05
Grips the lower bout edges. Rubber contact points sit against the instrument, so check placement to protect the finish.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
1/16, 1/8, and 1/4. Anything half size or larger needs the next rest up. Check the size label inside the violin before ordering.
The feet contact the edges of the lower bout, not the top. Seat it so the rubber sits on the ribs and edge, and take it off before the violin goes in the case if the case is tight.
The feet adjust for height and angle within a range, but the span across the violin body is fixed to the size range. A bigger violin needs a bigger rest.
The legs lock in the open position. Folding is for storage. If it feels loose in use, the feet likely need retightening or repositioning on the bout.
