Questions & Answers

For a 12" viola, I'll need one. Is this a viable solution? If we can't find a viola that's small enough, someone suggested a 13" violin. ?

No, a 12" viola won't fit. 1/2 violin chin rest can be used on a 12" viola.

Is this viola large enough for a 14-inch viola? The violin arrangement was too small. ?

My viola is 16 inches long, and it fits perfectly.

Selected User Reviews For WITTNER 251231 Chinrest for Viola, Hypoallergenic, Side Mount

The chin rest is extremely comfortable! I've always had a problem with an uncomfortable chin rest on my violin, but I've just learned to live with it
5/5

When I decided to take up the viola, however, I realized I wouldn't be able to put up with it any longer. I kept getting the sensation that the metal hardware was piercing my neck and collarbone. The style with the over-the-tailpiece appeared to be too tall as well. I'm a fan of Wittner tailpieces and pegs, so I decided to try out this chin rest. It's ideal! There's no more digging in, and it's a lot more relaxing. Furthermore, it is extremely simple to set up. Instead of using the traditional metal clamps, it comes with a small phillips head screwdriver. I've already made the decision to purchase one for my violin. I'm no longer willing to put up with uncomfortable chin rests!.

A fantastic chin rest for bettering your posture while playing! This product was exactly what I needed, and I would recommend it to any student who has a problem with their chinrest
5/5

This rest's more centered but still to the side mount is much more ergonomic and will help you feel more secure while playing, thus improving your overall playing posture. It's a little difficult to set up at first, but it comes with everything you need and only takes 5 minutes. I recently purchased this for my viola after using it for nearly a decade on my violin. This is an excellent product.

It has a pleasant feel to it, and it has been properly installed
5/5

For the chin, a good-sized bowl is provided. Simply follow the instructions on the package's image and everything should be fine. Before tightening the clamps, make sure the clasps are pressed tightly against the instrument. Instead of indenting the wood, the cork on the connection points to your instrument's wood is just enough to accommodate the torque when you screw it down.

Although the plastic is suitable for his allergy, the chin rest is not
3/5

My son is allergic to the metal on his original viola chin rest, and while the plastic is better for him, the chin rest isn't as comfortable as the wooden one he had. You can't have it all.

Fits perfectly on a 14-inch viola! This is a fantastic chin rest, far superior to the one that came with the instrument! Love it!

It was much more comfortable for the majority of people
5/5

In Brevard County, I work as a string consultant. The violin version of this product was tested on more than 100 students ranging from elementary to high school, and the majority found it to be much more comfortable. br>br>I'm a string consultant in Brevard County, Florida, and I use one myself after playing for 20 years. It was a simple transition and a significant upgrade. (I'm writing a review on behalf of my family).

This is a very comfortable chin rest
5/5

On both of my violins, I have a Wittner chinrest. They're simple to put together and stay put once you've done so. They are affordable, comfortable, and I have never had any issues with them.
