This Teka-style ebony chin rest fits 4/4 violins, with chrome fittings. It is made in Germany in the workshop of Reiner Wilfer, with a slightly different shape and height than a normal Teka chin rest. This chin rest is height adjustable and so is easily able to suit the individual player. It has an arched plate, suitable for players who like to hold their violin further towards the middle, in comparison to the Dresden-style which lets the player place their chin further to the left. It is a large sized chin rest with a medium depth cup that mounts next to the tailpiece and extends slightly over it. The lip is nicely rounded yet clean and sharp, giving an arched effect. This chin rest sits to the left of the tailpiece.
To install, loosen up the brackets and rest the chin rest to the left of the tailpiece, as seen in the product picture. Following this, insert the tip of the chin rest tool into one of the little holes on the bracket, and turn to tighten. Repeat with the other bracket.
