4/4 to 3/4 range

WolfForte Primo Violin Shoulder Rest Violin 4/4-3/4 Size
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A shoulder rest that fits both 4/4 and 3/4 violins. For players who want more adjustment than a basic student rest gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students moving up from 3/4 to full size
- Players who need to change the rest angle, not just height
- Households sharing one rest across two violin sizes
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 1/2 size and smaller violins
- Players happy with a $20 fixed-height rest
- Violists, who need a wider rest
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
Shoulder rest
Clamps to the lower bout and lifts the violin to your collarbone, so your chin is not doing the holding.
Detail 03
Forte Primo
Wolf's entry point in their rest line. More adjustment than a basic student rest, without the top-tier price.
Detail 04
$70
Mid-range for a shoulder rest. You are paying for adjustment range and build, not padding alone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01It will not fit a 1/2 or 1/4 violin, so check the instrument size first
- 02Chin rest is separate and matters as much as the shoulder rest for comfort
- 03Expect a few sessions of trial and error to find your height and angle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 1/2 violin?
No. It covers 4/4 and 3/4 only. A smaller body needs a rest sized for it.
02Is it worth $70 over a $20 rest?
If a fixed-height rest already sits right, no. If you fight your setup or your neck aches, the adjustment range is the reason to pay more.
03Can I use it on a viola?
No. This is sized for violin bouts. A viola is wider and needs a viola rest.
04Does it work if I switch between two violins?
Yes, as long as both are 3/4 or 4/4. Expect to reset the height and angle each time you swap.
