Very comfortable chin rest. I liked the mounting system. Very simple and very easy. Definitely worth a try.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too small, and flimsy to boot., August 17, 2010

The clamps on this chinrest won't open wide enough for my fiddle, which had a perfectly decent ebony chinrest that wasn't designed to straddle the tailpiece as I wished. Alas, the Wittner looked like it might just make it if I scraped off the cork padding. But, no, still not wide enough. Now I have a chinrest without cork pads to donate to my local school. I hope the kids aren't too hard on the chinrest, though, the Wittner is rather flimsy.
So...check to see if it will fit before you buy, and think about spending your money on ebony or rosewood instead of thin plastic with very slender mounting screws (under those black screw covers).

We upgraded my daughter's chinrest on her 1/10th with one of these. It actually fits several sizes and we're about to move it up to her 1/8th size. Anyway, it is infinitely more comfortable for playing than the standard cheap one on many violins. I highly recommend it.
