Nero Violin or Viola Chinrest

SKU: VN.CR.Guarneri.n

We offer several comfortable models including Berber (or Ohrenform), Berlin, Brandt, Flesch Flat, Guarneri, Hollywood, Northwoods, Stuber, Teka, and Vermeer. Chrome brackets are standard, and black brackets are available at an upgrade price. All are carefully designed for comfort by players and makers, and all have sufficient clearance to be buzz-free even with peaked tailpieces.

Figaro fine fittings are made only from the best sourced materials and finished by hand by craftsmen in a family owned business.

The Nero material is made in the USA from eucalyptus paper and thermosetting resins. It is pure black and mimics the finest Madagascar ebony. It is hypoallergenic and not susceptible to humidity or temperature change. The surface is impermeable to sweat and body fluids and therefore very easy to clean. The cork (Quercus suber) is the finest quality, fitted precisely to minimize acoustic interference and to maximize stability.  

Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability. The hardware fittings are all individually installed by hand. They are straight and thread easily. There are no chinrests available that are superior!
