This Berber-style ebony chinrest fits 4/4 size 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. This is a uniquely shaped chinrest with the feature of being able to be played either with a centre mount or placed slightly to the left. It has a medium to shallow cup that can mount over the tailpiece. The lip is quite shallow and soft on the chin. This chinrest generally sits over the tailpiece, and can be screwed on using a chinrest tool. To install, loosen up the brackets and rest the chinrest over the tailpiece, as seen in the product picture. 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.
This chinrest shape is also called “Ohrenform”
