Wilfer Schmidt Violin Chin Rest-Over Tailpiece

This Schmidt-style ebony chinrest fits 4/4 size violins with chrome fittings. It is made in Germany in the workshop of Reiner Wilfer. This is a uniquely shaped chinrest with the feature of being played either with a centre mount 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 screwed on using a chinrest tool (see recommended products).

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.
• Repeat with the other bracket.
