Important points to remember regarding your chinrest include:
In his world-renowned book, The Violin Lesson, Simon Flesch concludes that the chinrest should be called the ‘jawbone rest’ as that is a more accurate description of the contact point on the rest. It is also important to realize that there should be no gap between the instrument and the neck of the player. The tension caused by this incorrect posture would undoubtedly result in overall discomfort.
