Wilfer Schmidt Violin Chin Rest-Over Tailpiece

Wilfer Schmidt Violin Chin Rest-Over Tailpiece

This Schmidt-style ebony chinrest fits 4/4 size violins and has chrome fittings. It is made in Germany in the workshop of Reiner Wilfer. This is a uniquely shaped chinrest which can be mounted centrally or slightly to the left.  It has a medium cup that can mount over the tailpiece. The lip is rounded and soft on the chin. This chinrest generally sits over the tailpiece, and can be fitted to the violin using a chinrest tool (see recommended products).

To install, loosen up the brackets and rest the chinrest over 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.
