The Chinrest Lip

Description

The Chinrest Lip is the streamlined result of twenty-three years of thoughtful research in the pursuit of excellence in violin performance. This new invention is ergonomically designed to hold the violin up without the aid of a shoulder rest, for the sole purpose of playing the instrument at the highest level.

Why should I use The Chinrest Lip?

• The Chinrest Lip holds the instrument up without the use of a shoulder rest.
• The foam is comfortable (and hypoallergenic), yet dense enough to serve its function of not buckling under the natural weight of the head or slight downward pressure of the chin. These forces allow The Chinrest Lip to act as a fulcrum raising the scroll, so that the performer can hold the instrument up effortlessly.
• The foam rubber pad affixes strongly to the top of any shaped chinrest, and can be easily removed by just peeling the foam rubber away with the thumb. To remove the adhesive residue left on the chinrest, take a cloth, dab it with rubbing alcohol and carefully wipe the adhesive off.
• The Chinrest Lip comes in 3 different heights for players with varied neck lengths: low (L), medium (M), and high (H)
• The Chinrest Lip comes in 3 different colours: (light brown, dark brown, and black), the colours of most chinrests.
• The Chinrest Lip makes it easily manageable to shift in both upward and downward directions because it completely frees the left hand of its natural tendencies of clutching or squeezing
• The Chinrest Lip will help everyone realise their fullest most individual tone on the instrument, because the violin will now be sitting on or just below the collarbone. This lower position of the instrument allows the player’s natural arm weight to produce a healthy, luxurious sound without forcing.
• All bow strokes can now be mastered because the instrument is positioned properly on the body, requiring the least amount of finger, hand, and arm manipulation to get the desired results. Therefore, if one does raise the arm to access the lower strings or lower the arm to access higher strings, that access is now more direct.
• The Chinrest Lip, used over time, will help alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pains caused by improperly holding the instrument
