Thanks very much! I'll keep your chin rest in mind. Right now I'm playing bareback and love it. It's basically a baroque violin less gut strings, a swooshing neck and a longer fingerboard. Hint, those of you who possibly own an old black hard Rod rubber chinrest, please hold on to it. These were probably made around 1850 and resembled a giant black kidney bean. Don't ever let them talk you out of them because they are valuable antiques and the material is tougher than most plastic modern chinwrests. Pluss they may improve tone. They were lashed on to the ebony tailpiece some way which I have forgotten. All I remember is it was red oxgut that held it on.
I followed your advice from another video. I ordered the Everest shoulder rest and I ordered the Wittner Augsburg center mount chin rest. The shoulder rest is great. I love it. However, and this despite having watched every RUclips video concerning the assembly of the stinking chinrest, I can't attach those damned little feet. Now I've assembled many, many things over the years, so I'm generally no slouch in this regard, but let me just say, that son of a gun is going back. I'm going to check this one out. Perhaps I'll have better luck with this one.

My great grandfathers violin had a narrow oval black hard rubber chin rest very similar to the one shown. This is very interesting to me.
love this review. love your giggling. Such a nice pleasant review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 🙂
