Just put it between your shoulder and the violin. It's for my son's emergency shoulder rest as he keeps breaking the regular ones. **Q: what are the dimensions? I am looking for a thick one for my daughter with a 1/4** A: 5 1/2" long. 2 1/4" deep. 1 3/4" at its highest slope/end. 1" at its lowest point in the middle. 1 1/8" at its lower slope/end. I'm an adult with a 4/4, and this fits just right. If your daughter is small. This might be too big. **Q: How thick is it on each end and how long please? Medium and large if you have both. Thanks.** A: I find it a perfect solution for those seeking some kind of support short of the full shoulder rest. From this to no-shoulder rest-at-all, there's only one short step - if necessary. Good size overall. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Works on my viola, with the right sized rubber band. *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024* I've tried so many shoulder rests and the most comfortable I've found is a pair of socks rolled up and attached with a rubber band. I wanted something a little more presentable for a performance, so I ordered this. I wish it were black or gray, but I needed it quickly, and this was available. Others have pointed out that it is just a block of foam, but I it was worth the price to me not to have to try to shape it myself in the short time I had. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Molded foam rest *by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2012* Needed foam rests for children's violins and this one was a good deal. The blue doesn't squish down as much as the grey foam shoulder rests do. So one of the blue foam rests will replace the grey type.More teachers are desiring this type of shoulder rest over the Kun type, they believe it gives more stability.My oldest child learned to play with the plastic Kun rest and that is still their preference even though the new teacher prefers the foam. My child has a long neck and the Kun brings the instrument higher up. For orchestra (2 hours of playing) the 4/4 Kun is used. During lessons the foam is required by the instructor.The beginner is learning on this foam rest and prefers it to the 3/4 Kun because it "feels better."You will need long rubber bands to secure to the instrument. Unfortunately this set-up makes the violin uglier than other rests that are more discrete. The price is much better than the molded plastic types and the comfort depends on the player. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Quite soft *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020* This one was not dense enough for my adult needs. I've been trying and trying to find a shoulder rest that feels good, and stays on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5437990-zaret-shoulder-rest-for-violin-or-viola-medium](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5437990-zaret-shoulder-rest-for-violin-or-viola-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
