Original 19th century historical chin rest inspiration


However, most violinist are in need of a chin rest, especially in shifting to a lower position and feeling secure anywhere on the violin, with, or without, a shoulder rest. Often the head and chin pressure becomes involved and, if not checked carefully, discomforts can arise.
Many of the finest performers of our time have found this chin rest to be a great aide in the discovery of a greater ease in playing, especially under pressure.
