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.
This Teka Chin Rest is - according to our experience - the most comfortable chin rest for most violin and viola players. This version is made of genuine ebony timber and is hand carved.
• Teka-style chin rest for violins
• Mounts on the left side and partially extends over the tailpiece
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.
