can I use my wolf shoulder rest with this violin or do I need a special one?

I use Bonmusica, but I don't see why you can't use whatever one you like. The measurements are the same.

You should be able to use any shoulder rest as you would on a standard violin

Use the pegs at the neck to ball park, and the fine tuners by your bridge to specify your exact notes. The tuning pegs on the headstock are like any other violin. You have to gently push them into the wood to get a tight grip that won't slip. I urge you: be carful, but firm at the same time. Thanks!

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 depends on the design of the instrument. Many electric violins will only take their proprietary shoulder and chin rests.If you're talking specifically about the Yamaha Silent Violins, it will work on them. Many electrics have a frame that simulates the lower bout of a violin, and those will take any shoulder rest... same for any others that have a lower bout frame with the same dimensions as an acoustic violin.

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

Let's see i have to admit in my perspective the only point is the style. So far, their has been no advantages or disadvantages with the distinct body. I do admit thought that their is a disadvantage with this specific violin. The input hole to enter the amp cable is place in the back in a place where if you input the cable and try and play it feels uncomfortable. I'd would of prefer to be place somewhere along the edge but. The input whole its centered in the back.

No you will need a shoulder immobilizer for that. Search that on amazon you'll find what you need

It's slightly larger than a violin. Quite a bit heavier too. Is your violin oversized or something?? It's a hundred dollar case!! Buy it! You don't like it?? Send it back!!

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.

No. I think the tremolo arm you have will fit. I did find that I needed some metal bushings to keep the bridge from being movable, but that's an optional thing. A luthier friend installed those for me.

Yes, you can relax, because it works great. I don't think a heavy duty mic stand is necessary. Whether you have a large bass, or lightweight acoustic guitar, the center of gravity is the same because of unit's design. The only way the guitar will tip is if you bump into it. I was reluctant a bit at first also. But so glad I bought it . I couldnt' be happier

I used a guitar strap for mine and would recommend a strap style which would allow you to pull tighten to keep the bow close to your body.

Goodness, it's not supposed to be attached! You're supposed to be able to slide the bridge around to find the best tone; only the tension of the strings hold it in place (which is why you should only change or loosen one string at a time). I'm surprised a violin teacher didn't know this!

You just need the standard type, ties around the neck and has the eyelet at the back. I glued a nob on the upper part of the neck because of the current strap I have for my other guitars. One strap to fit all. Its a really good guitar for any level of player. Enjoy.

It's a tight fit, but, yes, a shoulder rest will fit in the case with the instrument.

No, this is for violas that are too big to use violin shoulder rests. Your son's viola can use a 3/4 or 4/4 violin shoulder rest.
