The Guarneri extra high chin rest is 14mm taller than the standard Guarneri chin rest.
Musicians with long necks or with aches and pains due to posture often tend to adjust their shoulder-rest to higher settings. This can actually cause more physical pain, as the violin then has to be held even higher, causing more fatigue, strain, and repetitive injuries. It is a lot more comfortable to use a high chin-rest and keep the shoulder-rest low, hence producing a more relaxed posture, which translates into better comfort, better sound, and a more enjoyable experience all together!
We recommend visiting the shop to assess how our chin rests fit. Please call us on 02920 227761 to make an appointment.
Trial box scheme
If you are unable to visit the shop for an appointment we offer a chin rest trial box scheme. For more information or to order, call us on 02920 227761 or email info@cardiffviolins.ac.uk
Please note it is your responsibility to ensure that the chin-rests return to us safely, as we will not refund anything lost in the post. Sending them with registered post, or signed and tracked with compensation ensures you won’t risk losing money.
