Popular, centrally mounted chinrest. Available in Ebony (black) and boxwood.
For full size violin. Click here for viola fittings.
Please note that due to the central position this chinrest may not fit high arched instruments without some adjusttment, if at all.

Compact and comfortable, easy to fit
Pros: I find this chin rest to be in a more natural position than a side chin rest. It is a nice, neat size, smooth on the chin and I have no red marks on my neck and collar bone anymore! It was very easy to fit with the chin rest key.
Cons: Nothing!

Good quality comfortable chin rest.
Pros: Nicely made, fitted easily over the tailpiece, comfortable to use if you like this style of chin rest. Easily fitted and with a good range of adjustment in the screws. Even came with a bonus chin rest key.
Cons: Might be thought a little on the pricey side?
Other: I never knew such things existed as I never give chin rests a moment's thought. My playing partner liked the look of it as she finds side-mounted chin rests not to be in the right place for her, and she's very happy with it. In fact we might be getting another one or two for her other fiddles.
