Metal Chinrest Key
2 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Metal Chinrest Key is stronger than the other cheap plastic handled keys. It ALSO REDUCES the accidental scratching of the violin's varnish and even scoring of the surface wood. Less likely to bend. Good value for money as I paid £3.84 inc. VAT (Jan 2018)

Cons: None. This is probably the best key you'll get!

Didn’t fit chin rest holes - do not buy.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: It was too thick to fit in the holes of the chinrest, so completely useless. Never occurred to me to check the hole size, but surely a chin rest key should fit all chin rests.

Beats a large bent paperclip!

Pros: A great little tool - so easy to use and doesn't mark the instrument (beats the large bent paperclips I've used for years!)

Cons: Nothing!

all should have one

Pros: This is an invaluable tool. Chin rests used to come with a little piece of wire, but this no longer happens, and there is a need to have the tool to hand.

Cons: None
