Wilfer Berber Violin Chinrest- Height Adjustable-Over the Tailpiece
This Berber-style ebony chinrest fits 4/4 size violins with chrome fittings. It is made in Germany in the workshop of Reiner Wilfer. This chinrest is height adjustable, and so is easily able to suit the individual player. This is a uniquely shaped chinrest with the feature of being able to be played either with a centre mount or placed slightly to the left. It has a medium to shallow cup that can mount over the tailpiece. The lip is quite shallow and soft on the chin. This chinrest generally sits over the tailpiece and can be screwed on using a chinrest tool.
To install:
As the product picture shows, loosen the brackets and rest the chinrest over the tailpiece.
Following this, insert the tip of the chinrest tool into one of the little holes on the bracket, and turn to tighten.
This chin rest is remarkable, allowing for modern playing technique without affecting the individuality of handling the instrument. Its fabrication is compact yet perfectly elegant design.
The Berber chin rest by Gewa is one of our most popular chin rests. It's a centre-mounted chin rest with a scooped side wing to allow the chin to move to the tailpiece's side.
