Chinrests

Chinrests come in a large variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. A player’s personal preference often determines the type of chinrest you choose. If your chinrest is causing some discomfort, you may want to change to a different style or size. J.R. Judd Violins carries chinrests made from a variety of materials including: Boxwood, Ebony, Rosewood and Hypoallergenic plastic.

  • Boxwood
    Boxwood is an excellent choice for the player looking for a lighter chinrest. Boxwood also causes fewer allergic reactions than the other chinrest woods.

  • Rosewood

Holding a violin for hours each day can be uncomfortable and ergonomically harmful. Common physical problems among string players include repetitive motion disorders, arthritis, neck or back pain, and scoliosis. A comfortable, stress-free hold is essential for proper technique and the production of free and open tone. The Universal Chinrest is intended for players who need a taller chinrest in order to comfortably hold an instrument. It provides quick and secure vertical height and tilt adjustment to accommodate a wide variety of players.

This chinrest is designed and manufactured by J.S. Lamancusa, with patent pending.
