Chinrest Key – For Every Emergency

Weighing in at no more than approximately 0.634 ounces, or thereabouts, chinrest keys are a wonderful addition for every violinist.

Chinrsts can actually come loose, over time, even for beginner violinists. What happens after, is that chin rests can become dislodged, and then carve or scratch the varnish of the violin on which it rests, abrading the wood and causing indentations or scratches on the varnish or surface.

If so, chin rests will need to be screwed back on, and you can do this with a chin rest key.

Makeshift chin rest ‘keys’ that fit into the hollow of the chin rest screws like bent paperclips, for example – if it is at all possible to fit into the chinrest screw hols – post great risk to the violin surface, varnish, and even wood likewise.

A simple purchase of a chin rest which you can safely store in your violin case without great weight is hence a vital addition and violin accessory that can come in very handy in a practical and useful way.

The chin rest key will allow for you to change, adapt, and re-position your chin rest safely, and on any occasion, without having to travel to the luthier’s, or violin maker and repair person.

A worthy and cost-effective investment for great sound, the violin chin rest key is a vital addition for every serious violinist, and essential even for beginner violinists.

Here is a link and personal recommendation for a chinrest key – please click right here.

It comes especially ergonomically designed, with a little rounded top, which allows for careful and accurate grasping without slipping, which may damage the instrument.

You can safely purchase this recommendation with the assurance of an Amazon Prime delivery, which should allow it to reach you safely.

Enjoy violining!
