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, not violin
A viola body is wider, so the rest is longer. A violin-sized rest will not span it properly.
Detail 03
$20.99
Entry tier. Expect height and angle adjustment, not the bendable contouring of rests three to five times the price.
Detail 04
Shoulder rest, not chinrest
Sits under the viola against your collarbone. It does not change chin or jaw contact at all.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if medium is my size?
Measure your viola back length. Medium suits mid-range violas, roughly 15-16 inch. Smaller or larger bodies need a different size.
02Can I use this on a violin?
No. It is built to span the wider viola body. On a violin it will overhang and will not clamp securely.
03Is it adjustable?
Yes, for height and angle at the feet. It does not bend into a custom shoulder contour like higher-end rests do.
04Will it mark my instrument?
The feet clamp the edge of the viola. Check the pads are intact before each use and do not overtighten the grip.
