Wilfer Schmidt Violin Chinrest Height Adjustable- Left Side Position
This Schmidt-style ebony chinrest fits 4/4 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. It has an arched plate, suitable for players who like to hold their violin further towards the middle, compared to the Dresden style, which lets the player place their chin further to the left. It is a large-sized chinrest with a medium-depth cup that mounts next to the tailpiece and extends slightly over it. The lip is nicely rounded, giving an arched effect. This chinrest sits to the left of 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.
