Has anyone used this shoulder rest on a 16" viola? If so, did it fit properly?

No, this will definitely not work. You want the EZ-VA which will fit up to a 16.5" Viola.

This shoulder rest is not designed to fit a viola. It is designed to fit a regular violin. You want to look for an Everest Viola Shoulder Rest which will fit most violas. You can find one on ebay if you search for EVEREST VIOLA SHOULDER REST. Look for our company, NW Music Company, and you will see we ship quick and have excellent customer ratings. Hope that helps.

No, it can not be used on a 16" viola since it for 4/4 size violin. For 16" viola, you have to buy Everest Viola shoulder rest.

If you have a full size (4/4) violin yes the shoulder rest will fit in the case. If the case is any more small, the rest will not fit.

It depends -- I purchased this case for a beginning string program and I don't remember if it has a zipper section on the top. I don't think it does, so on the inside: if the shoulder rest is soft, then it may fit under the neck of the instrument. If it is a hard one with "metal" legs, then no, it won't fit. We were using sponges, so it fit under the neck. Hope this helps!

All 4/4 violin shoulder rests can only used on 14" viola, for bigger viola, you have to get a viola shoulder rest.

No. I would recommend doing a search on 1/8th violin shoulder rest, or consider one of the pad-type rests that might fit.

No. Both of my full size violins are unable to fit in even without the shoulder rest. I will have to ship it back for refund. Will lost 2 x $13.50 =$27 on the shippings.

Greetings I'm not familiar with the sizing of Violins; I don't know what 1/16 means so far as size. I know the violin I bought to put up for display is a smaller children's instrument. I measured the width of the neck of my violin at the neck's end where the tuning pegs are. Mine measures one inch in width. The head where the tuning pegs are is wider than the end of the neck. My violin sits very well in the V-notch of the string swing mount. I have not had any issues at all with the instrument coming off or falling. It does not hang by the tuning pegs so there is no stress on any part of the instrument that could warp it over time. I've had mine hanging for more than a half year and not one problem. There's a an extension of one of the forks (you can see it in the picture) for hanging the bow with the violin. For the money, the hanger was actually perfect. Good Luck!

It barely fit on mine. I had to force it in a little. I have a les Paul silver bust.

We haven't but I could see someone doing that by not tipping the guitar forward then lifting up on it. The backrest doesn't have the padding like the arms but dragging it out would wear on your finish along the back, we're careful with ours so it won't be a problem. You could always lay a soft cloth on the back if you were concerned but it's not a really hard plastic either that the back rests on, it's just not cushioned that would be a good upgrade for it, otherwise it's great!

It's not true for my instrument. I don't have to take it off. Perhaps the other person's violin was longer or the chin rest was larger.

It works on both a 15 and 16 inch viola. We just upgrade him to a 16 inch and it fit without an issue.

Yes you'll be happy with this for quite awhile... Sounds good, stays in tune and comes complete except for a shoulder rest which I would recommend you should also invest in.

Lou: Yes it is large enough. Plus on the support where the neck of the violin rests on the case there is the velcro loop that is designed just for the bridge. A cool feature that preserves space in the accessory box. It is the best case that I have had... really solid straps, metal pieces...fellow fiddlers have been impressed and have inquired about it. It a good one. Dr. Dan

This stand holds my violins and mandolins. It might fit a viola but not a cello. I recommend you to see whether they make a larger one. I find it rugged enough for my purposes and am quite satisfied with it.

I have installed those Perfection pegs only twice. I would think the main concern would be the size of the peg hole. If it is too big it would need bushing, which is more involved than a basic peg installation. They work well on the two I did. I don't see why they wouldn't work for a viola.

We are sorry to tell you that we don't carry viola shoulder rest, and the full size violin shoulder rest won't fit a full size viola.

HI... I bought the MV650 and I like the sound, good strings, the shoulder rest I changed it for another, I have not problems with your parts (tuner, bows, rosin)... this violin is good for a level intermedium violinist... the cost is a little more expensive, but I am glad with my MV650... any question plase contact me...
