We
offer a large selection of Chinrests. Our chinrests
are made in India, using high quality wood and hardware.
Many companies make each of the models, so you can not directly
compare price and quality just by the model name. Yes, there
are lower cost chinrest on the market, but they are not the
same quality as we offer. For Chinrest accessories such as
Strad Pad, Please visit our Miscellaneous Accessories pages.
Consider ordering a few models to try, and then contact us
to return. Also, consider different shoulder rests. A change
in your chinrest, may necessitate an adjustment to the shoulder
rest, or a different shoulder rest product. Our most recommended
and popular models are the Wittner Ultra, Guarneri,
and Flesch Flat models.
|
Guarneri. Probably
the world's most popular chinrest style. Mounts centrally,
with a large cup off to the side. Most players set their
jaw over the tailpiece portion, using the ridge as an
anchor for secure support.

|
Guarneri
with Hill Hardware. Just
like the standard Guarneri model, but with upgraded hardware.

|
Flesch. Center
mounted, with a hump over the tailpiece. No other model
is anything like this shape. Models like this often make
contact with the tailpiece. A luthier can carve some
wood away from the under side, or additional cork material
can be added to increase the clearance slightly.

|
Flesch
Flat. Center mounted like
the original Flesch, but flat on top.

|
Wittner
Ultra Side Mount. Hypoallergenic
composite material, and a smoothly contoured mounting
bracket design, make this chinrest a top seller. Wittner
spent many years developing this design. Extensive testing
was done.

|
Wittner
Ultra Center Mount. Same
features as the side mount model, but with a higher overall
height, and center mounted position.

|
Wittner
"Augsburg" Adjustable. Latest
design from Wittner features the same hypoallergenic material
as other Ultra rests, but with a new adjustable feature for
teh angle
