Vermeer Ebony Violin Chinrest - Large Plate

I've been playing violin for many years, currently in chamber orchestra. Started with a Guarneri style, then a Kaufman which was fairly comfortable but a little lower than I need. The Vermeer is taller and has more of a raised edge which helps me support the violin using very little downward pressure from my chin. A neck saver! The quality of the ebony and the finish are superb.

This chin rest is very comfortable for my jaw shape. It’s so important to have a properly fitted chin rest for comfort.

This chinrest (along with the Wolf shoulder rest) provides the height needed for a person with a long neck to play comfortably. I had tried a Flesch chin rest but felt it detracted from the overall look of the violin as well as interfered with the design on the tailpiece. The Vermeer is comfortable and still allows for holding the violin closer to the tailpiece rather than off to the side. It also comes in 3 types of wood (ebony, rosewood,boxwood)to supply your "design" needs. Having finally found the best combination for me I use the Vermeer on all 3 of my violins.
