An Easy Way to Make Your Violin More Comfortable
|
||||
| Let's "face" it - your violin chinrest is not exactly designed for comfort. Since 1820, it's been carved out of a block of very hard wood, such as ebony or rosewood.
But if you want to play your best, you simply have to be comfortable. Like at practice time. It is especially difficult to put in the time you need to improve if your "hickey" or "fiddler's chin" is acting up. And a shoulder rest, which does a great job of protecting your shoulder, isn't designed to protect your chin. The GelRest offers a solution. It has a feel and texture like your own skin, so it gently molds to your unique shape making your violin feel like it was made for you. The GelRest is even molded with special contouring that make holding the violin much easier. Considering that it's also durable and easy to clean, you can see why we say it's the perfect material for a violin or viola chinrest. But as important as comfort is, the GelRest is designed to look good too. The GelRest is modeled on the classic shape of the ever-popular Guarneri chinrest, and its smooth black color will maintain the timeless good looks of your violin or viola. But what if you are using rosewood or boxwood pegs and tailpiece on your instrument? You don't want a black chinrest do you? Take a look at our range of colors and designs. We have a GelRest to match all the traditional woods, as well as some color choices that may surprise you. Read on for some testimonials from a few of our 15,000 strong customers . . . I've been playing the violin for over 3 decades. As a result I have a permanent "lump" under the left side of my chin due to the wooden chin rest. Over the years playing, I've come to accept the continuing inflammation and accompanying pain that goes with being a violinist. Since I began using the GelRest, this suffering is no longer a reality for me . As a professional violinist, it is not uncommon for me to play for four or more hours at a time. Now that I use the Chinrest, I enjoy a painless musical experience and I no longer have to endure the unsightly inflammation I had always accepted as an inevitable price of being a violinist. Thank you Stephen for creating the GelRest. Robert Anthony Aviles 7-string electric violinist I have tried almost every competing product before I discovered the GelRest. Now I am hooked on unmatched comfort and durability. It has a streamlined, cool look that is great for live performances and a favorite of all of my students. www.andrea-young.com It is a really great product and I really do enjoy using it. It takes the stress from playing the violin. All too often people don't know where the pain is and it stems from the neck and for me what chair to use while I play for long periods of time!
