Wilfer Schmidt Violin Chinrest - Left Side 

This Schmidt-style chinrest fits 4/4 violins and is made from ebony with chrome fittings. It is made in Germany in the workshop of Reiner Wilfer. 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 (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.
