ResonansViolin Shoulder Rest 1/4, Medium
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Resonans shoulder rest for quarter-size violin in the medium height. For a young student on a 1/4 instrument who needs the violin lifted.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A child playing a 1/4-size violin who needs a proper rest
- Replacing a lost or broken rest on a student quarter-size
- A teacher keeping rests on hand for small beginners
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 1/2, 3/4 or full-size violins — the feet are spaced for 1/4
- A child who needs noticeably more lift than a medium height gives
- Violas of any size
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
Medium height
Mid-range gap between violin and shoulder. A child with a long neck may still want more lift than this gives.
Detail 03
Shoulder rest, not a chin rest
Fits under the back of the violin and works with whatever chin rest is already mounted.
Detail 04
Resonans
A rest maker rather than a general accessory brand — worth knowing if a teacher has specified Resonans by name.
Detail 05
$20
Above the cheapest student rests, and it's size- and height-specific, so it won't carry over to the next violin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the violin is genuinely 1/4 — sizes are easy to mistake by eye.
- 02Height is fixed at medium; there's no swapping to low or high later.
- 03Nothing else included, and the rest usually has to come off before the case closes.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 1/2-size violin?
No. This one is spaced for a 1/4-size body. A 1/2-size violin needs the rest made for that size.
02What does 'medium' mean here?
It's the height of the rest — how far the violin sits off the shoulder. Medium is the middle option, not the lowest or the tallest.
03How do I know if my child needs medium?
Medium suits most young players. If the child raises their shoulder to hold the violin, they need more height; if the violin feels perched, less.
04Can they keep using it on their next violin?
No. When they move up from 1/4 to 1/2, the rest has to be replaced along with the instrument.
