Kaufmann Model Chinrest for Violin & Viola – Classic Low-Profile Comfort

The Kaufmann Model Chinrest by Roy Art & Craft is a traditional violin and viola accessory designed to provide comfortable support, stable positioning, and elegant craftsmanship. Made from premium tonewoods such as Ebony, Boxwood, and Rosewood, this chinrest combines durability with a classic design that complements the natural beauty of string instruments.

The Kaufmann Model features a low-profile plate with a shallow bowl-shaped cup and extended ledge, allowing the player’s chin and jaw to rest naturally while maintaining a relaxed playing posture.

Its ergonomic shape distributes pressure comfortably along the jawline, helping reduce tension in the neck and shoulders during long practice sessions and performances.

This model is typically side-mounted beside the tailpiece, offering a balanced playing position and secure attachment without affecting the instrument’s resonance.

The shallow cup and medium-low height make the Kaufmann Model especially suitable for players who prefer a lower chinrest setup or have a shorter neck, providing improved comfort and control.

Each chinrest is carefully shaped and hand-polished to ensure smooth edges and a refined finish. Designed with Roy Art & Craft’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, the Kaufmann Model chinrest is ideal for students, professional musicians, teachers, and luthiers seeking reliable violin and viola fittings.
