Will this work for a violin if the shoulder rest is left on?

Honestly, if you value your instrument, look for a better solution. Yes, the thing is portable, but the quality of construction and the cheap foam (it is 'sticky' so it sticks to your instrument when you try to pick up instrument from stand) make this one a P.O.S. in my book.

I have a full size violin. This gelrest is great. It is easy to remove and has enough sticky to be reapplies a couple times. It is more of a gel type adhesive so it does not leave any marks or residue. It may not fit your chin rest exactly because of the numberous chin rest shapes but it works great.

yes there is a hole on the bottom arm/rest where the screw sits in, in front of the violin. you can see it in the picture, it looks like little nub on the right arm/rest

If you leave the tension very loose you can rotate. I play violin and use it all the time but fail to see the need for switching. I prefer keeping minw tight so it won't rotate.

Sure. I didn't notice any difference in how they hang. It worked on our 1/2, 3/4, and now full size. I had 1/2 and 3/4 hanging next to each other. The only thing to account for is how low violin hangs to and the bow. Mine are handing over the piano, so I had to make sure they are high enough so that when we upgrade to full size, bow won't be hitting the top of the piano (+ some room for sheet music that is always piled all over the piano no matter how often I clean it up!)

I doubt it. Mine has a chin rest but no shoulder rest. With the chin rest it is almost flush to the top of where the fiddle sits in the case. There is lots of room to put the shoulder rest though.

Why not? This would depend on whether your string bridge is approximately the same width as a violin bridge. Compare your width and a fellow student's who plays the violin (the bridges, that is); if they're approximately the same, it will work. Depth does not matter. The mute is a good product for its purpose. If used often, it should remain flexible and useful for a lifetime.

Yes. However there is also a velcro strap in the case itself to hold the shoulder rest in.

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.

I don't think it's a good idea. Since the neck of 1/16 size violin is very slim, that means, it will be hanging on its lower pegs, what is not safe.

If I recollect correctly, the violin I ordered came with chin rest as a standard but not a shoulder rest.

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

This may work for a violin but my only concern is that like an acoustic guitar it has a hollow body and that particular microphone feeds back depending on where you place it, im sure you dont want that to happen.

I don't know about that brand, however, though my child's violin is smaller, the only shoulder rest we could find was a full-size that easily adjusts to fit her violin. And, it fits nicely inside this case. Hope that helps.

The shoulder rest comes in two sizes, 1/2 to 3/4 and 3/4 to 4/4. The shoulder rest is designed to be flexible and can be slightly adjusted to fit your specific size. I would recommend getting the 3/4 to 4/4 size so you can keep using it when you move to a larger size violin. This item is decribed as the Everest 4A Violin Shoulder Rest (3/4 - 4/4). I hope that helps

Only the shoulder rest. But it will not accommodate a large Bon Musica style rest at all. Great if you're using a kuhn style.

Hi Tammy. I think that it would fit your viola because you can slide it on and adjust it so that it fits your shoulder comfortably. My daughter has been using it in class for about 4 weeks now and all is well. I originally was going to go to the music store with her teacher to find one that fit her and her instrument; however, upon putting the Everest on the 4/4 violin, everyone agreed that the Everest shoulder rest was great fit and very soft to her jaw/shoulder position when she plays. Please feel free to let me know how it works for your viola because a few of my daughter's classmates are using the Everest or sponges until they can get an Everest/or music store shoulder rest for themselves. Most of the viola players had their original music store purchased shoulder rest in her class she told me when I asked if any had an Everest. Hope this helps.
