Wilfer Schmidt Central Adjustable Violin Chinrest Ebony

This Schmidt-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 cup that can mount over the tailpiece. The lip is rounded and soft on the chin. This chinrest generally sits over the tailpiece, and can be screwed on using a chinrest tool (see recommended products).

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.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to come in store to have your chinrest fitted.

*Chinrests come with violin barrels, please let us know in the comments on check out if you require viola barrels instead.
