Chin rests for Violin and Viola

In fact, a well-fitted chin rest can help to facilitate better posture and support of the instrument in an ever-changing balancing act between the collarbone and left hand. But ill-fitting chin rests can cause such problems as clenching and aches and pains as well as sores, due to constant pressure of one small part of the chin rest against one part of the neck.

Tailpieces and their tonal qualities

While the primary function of the tailpiece is to connect the strings to the end of your stringed instrument, the tailpiece can have a significant effect on the sound and playability of your instrument. The right tailpiece, installed in its proper position, can make an instrument more responsive and easier to play, accentuate the harmonics and overtones, and make the instrument more resonant. This added resonance can result in a fuller and more colourful tone. Also if an instrument has some undesirable vibration, such as a bad wolf note, a change of tailpiece and its position can help reduce it.
