The Guarneri high chin rest is 14mm taller than the standard Guarneri chin rest.
We aim to provide exact measurements. However, there may be slight variations for which we apologise.
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 asses our chin rests (unless you are already familiar with the different models). Chin-rest fitting appointments cost £20 for the first half-hour and £10 for each following half-hour (or £ 5 for every fifteen minutes). Please call 02920 22 77 61 to book an appointment.
