Berber Rosewood Violin Chinrest

It’s very comfortable because of its large size. Just make sure the base of the chinrest is sitting properly on the violin so that is not touching the tail piece. My luthier needs to bend the mounting feet a little bit to make it sit perfectly.

I have been using this chinrest since my years as a student. I couldn't find any thing else that could subtitute for this wonderful chinrest. And now most of my students are using the same.

I switched to this after hating Guraneri-style chinrests for years. Being center-mounted but with enough lip to still play a little left of center, my posture and playing improved tremendously. If you hate Guarneri or feel like you're holding a neck uncomfortably when you play, try this chinrest out. I love it.

This is, hands down, my favorite chinrest. I also tried center Flesch without hump, center Flesch with hump, SAS, and others. This Berber chinrest is my favorite. I feel like there is enough lip to offer good control, but it is never in my way, even if
I move my face or violin around a bit. The only con is that it didn't quite clear my tailpiece. However, I love it enough that I couldn't bring myself to deduct a star for that issue. It is that good. I added a bit of cork to the bottom to raise it enough
to clear the tailpiece. Despite it being considered a high chinrest (about 28mm at lip, 24mm in center) I could still use the height the extra cork gives me since I have a longer kneck and prefer to play without a shoulder rest. I hope this review was helpful.
I highly recommend this chinrest!

Wonderful chinrest.
Since I¥m using it I don¥t need to use shoulder rest. Very comfy and nice looking.
