Teka Violin Chinrest Tall

Great chinrest / great value

I have a custom made chinrest (from chinrests.com) on my primary instrument, but I also have an electric violin and a violin I use outdoors. I simply measured the custom one and got the 40mm version of this chinrest as the closest match. I love it. If you have a long neck, you should probably have a raised chinrest! I don't use a shoulder pad - I prefer to feel the violin on my collar bone and gently secure it with my chin. In order to do that comfortably, the distance between the bottom of my violin and the top of my chinrest has to match pretty closely the gap between my collar bone and chin. This is on my electric instrument (again, 40mm) - thus the stickers :)

At last, a chinrest that's tall enough!

I'm delighted with the Teka 50mm tall chinrest I bought from Concord more than a year ago. In fact, I'm ordering a second one for another viola that I sometimes play. After decades of playing on chinrests that were too low, I'm finally able to play with relaxed head, neck, and shoulders! And the price is VERY reasonable. I give this chinrest a 5+++ rating!
