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
Measured by viola body length, not total instrument length. Measure back of scroll-side edge to bottom edge before ordering.
Detail 02
Rigid bridge that clamps to the ribs and holds the viola away from the collarbone, rather than cushioning against it.
Detail 03
Grips the lower rib with feet. Fit and clamp pressure matter — a loose rest slips mid-passage.
Detail 04
Feet and rest geometry follow the common standard, so most aftermarket replacement feet and taller feet fit.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. It is sized for violas 15 in. and up, so 16 in. is within range.
No. It is built for viola body widths. A 4/4 violin needs the violin-size rest instead.
Measure the back of the body only — top edge to bottom edge, not including the neck or scroll. That number is the viola size.
The rest ships assembled with its feet. Taller or replacement feet are sold separately.
