ResonansViola Shoulder Rest Low
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A viola-size shoulder rest in the low-height version. For players who need a small gap between the instrument and the collarbone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Short-necked violists who find standard rests too tall
- Students needing a cheap, reliable first shoulder rest
- Players wanting the viola sits closer to the body
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Long-necked players who need a tall, high-arch rest
- Violinists — this is cut for viola bout widths
- Anyone wanting fine micro-adjustment of angle and height
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
Viola-sized
Feet span the wider viola lower bout. It will not clamp securely on a violin.
Detail 03
Shoulder rest, not a chinrest
Raises the instrument off the shoulder. Neck-length fit still depends on the chinrest already on the viola.
Detail 04
Rubber-tipped feet
Grip the ribs without contacting varnish directly. Tips wear and are the part that usually fails first.
Detail 05
$19.99
Entry-level pricing. Expect fixed simplicity rather than the adjustable hardware of higher-priced rests.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your neck length first — low is the wrong pick for tall gaps
- 02Fits viola bout widths; confirm your instrument's body size
- 03Remove it before casing the instrument to avoid pressure on the ribs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a violin?
No. It is built for viola body width. On a violin the feet will overhang and it won't hold securely.
02What does "low" mean here?
It is the shortest height option, so the viola sits nearer your collarbone. Choose it if standard rests feel too tall or tip the instrument away.
03Does it adjust?
Treat it as a fixed-height rest at this price. Pick the height version that matches your neck rather than planning to dial it in.
04Can I replace the feet if they wear out?
Resonans sells replacement rubber tips separately, so worn feet don't mean a new rest.
