Important points to remember regarding your chinrest include:

Ensure an experienced repairer/teacher/player helps fit your chinrest
If your instrument is ‘buzzing’, it could be that the chinrest is too loose and is rattling on the tailpiece
Ensure your tailpiece is not too tight, as it may impact your instrument or restrict the resonance of your instrument
Only use equipment specifically designed to adjust your chinrest. Other implements may damage the varnish of the instrument.

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.

To install at home:

Loosen up the brackets and rest the chinrest to the left of the tailpiece, as seen in the product picture.
Following this, insert the tip of the chinrest tool into one of the little holes on the bracket, and turn to tighten.
Repeat with the other bracket.
