As a violinist I’ve experienced great shoulder and neck pain after 20+ years of playing, it has gotten much worse and I may require surgery if I cannot find a more comfortable set up. This surgery would buy a rod up through my neck and limit rotation which could keep me from playing. This is my career and passion, potentially losing music would be losing my purpose and life. I feel I would greatly benefit from the dolfinos system and ultimately continue to teach music and play professionally. Thank you🎶
I would love to have one of these chin rests. My violin teacher told me that I need to get a center mounted chin rest. I have looked at Dolphinos, but thought it was too expensive for a beginner. I have been playing just over a year (I’m 72 years old). I have really enjoyed your Master classes that you did with Trala. You are so talented and beautiful. Thanks for your inspiring RUclips videos.
This seems to be a brilliant system, and may be just what I am looking for when needing to replace/do away with my shoulder rest which is long out of production but is perfectly suited to personal needs. Thank you for the review and give away.
Hi Esther! My name is Sergio. I love this violin chin rest, I think it is really revolutionary and I am excited to see that someone has decided to invent something so useful and configurable 😊 To explain a little about myself, I am a violinist with many years of experience. I have always had the feeling that my chin rest was not the right one for me so a few months ago I started to do some research on the subject. Then I found very interesting articles in which they explained that it is better to cover the space to fill between your chin and your collarbone with the chin rest, instead of filling it with the shoulder rest. So I've been going to various stores and trying a lot of chin rests but haven't found something that meets my needs. I have a long neck and the illusion of having an adjustable chin rest so that I can play the violin with a low shoulder rest or even no shoulder rest. When I saw your video I was delighted to see this beautiful adjustable chin rest, and being able to get it as a gift would be a dream for me! 🥰 I was already subscribed to your RUclips channel as I enjoy your videos a lot. I also subscribed to the Dolfinos RUclips channel. I would love to win this amazing chin rest ❤️ Thank you for your generosity! Either way, I am delighted to have met you in RUclips, you are a brilliant violinist and a truly charming person. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎁
Hi Esther, I was first fascinated by your bow range comparison video and besides it was short enough to recognise the difference between bows, I found myself falling into your channel for a while and loved your music and smile! I hope I would be able to get this chin rest as I am about to start picking up violin after a few years rest, you are one of my inspirations and I sincerely wish to get this!! Thanks❤️
I'm interested in this chin rest! Looks like a helpful system for people like us with longer necks. I do have some neck pain that I hope this can relieve.
Hello Esther! I would be glad to give this chin rest as a present to a friend of mine and colleague. As well as being a violinist, he’s fascinated by how the violin itself works and usually conducts personal research on its possibilities and accessories.
Hi Esther! Thanks so much for your honest review. I've been on the hunt for a new chin rest, and I love that the Dolfinos system is adjustable for the perfect fit. I would love to try this one, so thanks for the opportunity to be entered into the giveaway!
Esther! My name is Valeria and i am from mexico, I follow you since years ago! I have been troubling with my neck since some years because it is really long and that set of chinrests would help me a lot for my development as violin student and because of my actual financial situation wont be possible that i get soon... I widh you a merry Christmas and I hope I will be lucky to be the chosen one!
Hello, I'm Karina and I've recently started music uni, thus I've had to increase the amount of study time for violin, wich I absolutely enjoy! The only problems that I've been trying to fight off are bad neck and back pains... My complexion is very petite, so I've found trouble finding an adjustable set up for my violin, added to this... I get really bad allergies with nickel so I get very painful rashes whenever I forget to put a cloth in my neck. This chinrest set-up would be such a great relief so I can keep practicing a lot without worrying about damaging my body or skin 😃 Love you, Esther!!!
Hi Esther, today I have found your channel and I am fan of you from now on. I live in the Netherlands and discovered the violin a few weeks ago and it is already my biggest hobby. At the moment I write this I have a really bad headache, probably from too long practicing yesterday... So I really hope I can win the chin rest for more comfort! I'm going to listen to your beautiful playing now and hope it will relieve my headache.. Best wishes, Miranda
Bonjour Esther, c'est très gentil de ta part de faire cela ! Je suis également très intéressé par cette mentonnière . J'ai en effet un très long coup et une mâchoire très fine et je suis en constante de recherche d'une mentonnière qui ne me cause pas de douleurs Je suis encore élève de conservatoire (15 ans ) et je compte (du moins jespere pouvoir ) en faire mon métier. Merci en tout cas pour tout ce que tu fais et de partager ta passion avec nous ! Bonnes fêtes !
This looks amazing! I have struggled with chin rests and shoulder rests throughout my entire playing career. Sometime playing is down right painful. I’ve continued playing anyways, but it would be amazing to have a chin rest that actually gets high enough. Thank you for doing this wonderful chinrest give away!
Fingers crossed :) I have been through at least 6 or so chin tests trying to find the right one. I have a longer neck, so finding one that is both comfortable and tension reducing is difficult for me. Some have reduced my neck pain and jaw tension, but I still have yet to find the one that does the job well enough. I’ve been searching for years, so I’m hoping this one is the perfect fit! The features are very impressive and it looks as if it can make a lot of improvements to my posture and technical abilities. Either way I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thanks for the wonderful review and comparisons :) happy holidays!!
Dear Esther, thank you very much for your review, it opened my eyes! I usually study medicine at the Charité in Berlin and have been working for the Berlin Philharmonic since the pandemic. By carrying out the Covid tests, I got close to the musicians and rediscovered my love for playing the violin and recently discovered your channel. When I started playing the violin at the age of 6, I could not have suspected that I would later be 1.90 m tall and that it could lead to difficulties in bowing, intonation in very high registers or my posture. The chin rest by DOLFINOS would therefore make playing the violin much more pleasant and enjoyable. I would be so beyond happy about it. :) Merry Christmas to everyone! ✨
Hi Esther! I started the violin a bit later than most people. Since then I have been playing almost every day for 3 years. My teacher, who is also my aunt, just had me start bachs solo works for the violin! We started with the E major preludio. I am tall and I think that having a taller chin rest would help with the neck discomfort I have been having recently. I love your channel. You always have lots of positive energy and a big smile. Please keep the positive vibes coming.😁
As a violinist who eschews shoulder rests, I’m very intrigued by this chin rest, and your recommendation carries great weight. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
I have played violin for almost a year now, and you've been an inspiration and you're so incredible talented. Keep it up because I'd like to hear some more:)
Hi Esther, Great video! You really inspire me! I have been playing the violin for 13 years and I am 17years old. I am really interested in the chin rest because I need a comfier set up for my practice. I practice about 5hours a day and the chin rest would be very beneficial. I have been having problems with my current chin rest as it has been affecting my jaw. This chin rest looks amazing! It looks like it would be really suitable for me because it seems to be quite petite. I hope you continue to do great videos like these. You are an amazing violinist. Xxxx Love from Maisie x
Hi Esther, thank you for introducing me to dolfinos chin rests! I saw your video pop up in my feed and I was very excited because I have been having a lot of trouble with finding the right chin rest. I would really love to try out Dolfinios!
i would like to win this chin rest because i really can't find any chin rests in my price range that are high quality and are suitable for me (i have a long neck). so basically even with a shoulder rest i have difficulties with my neck and back posture because i keep slouching to hold my violin properly. thank you for being so generous during this difficult time❤️❤️❤️
Merci Esther pour les explications ! Sur leur site internet elles sont moins claires. Je souhaitais cependant en acheter un pour ma fille de 7 ans et pour moi. Nous jouons toutes les 2 sans coussin. C'est souvent difficile de maintenir le violon en serrant le menton dessus... Nous compensons avec la main gauche, qui perd ainsi en liberté. Donc ce serait un beau cadeau pour nous ! Je vous souhaite de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année, et j'espère que 2021 sera l'année où nous pourrons aller vous écouter à Lyon !
Hello Esther thank you for this amazing chin rest.I have been playing the violin for about 1 year and I kinda need an other chin rest but unfortunately I can't afford it but thats not the main reason to be honest I would love to have a new one because I am not so comfortable with this.Thank you again.!!!😊😊
I play a16” viola and have been struggling with a setup that doesn’t have me over gripping with my chin and shoulder which deadens the sound. I love the height adjustment feature so much on this chin rest that I think it would really help me. I’d love to win it! Thank you for making this offer.
I world loooove to win this chin rest! My current teacher at the Conservatory (Italy) is against shoulder rest but I've never found a chin rest that could suit my long neck so I tend to use the head to keep the violin in place, but it creates a lot of tension in my back and it's not very pretty to see. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing from Italy, I'm just learning to play and l'm trying to learning without shoulder rest, so I 'm planning to change my chin rest as soon it possible for my economic possibility, thank you again, I follow your video with great intreast! Ciao dall' Italia, love to you and your family ❤️
I've always felt that you need a higher chin rest than what the wittner center could provide, and now you have the solution for both the chin rest and the shoulder anti-slip. I would like to try this chin rest and their integrated shoulder rest too.
Very beautiful, I thinkI think it would be very helpful and my chin broke just yesterday. I like a lot this type and it looks like comfortable and beautiful. So.... Good luck!! 😍🤞🍀
I would love to win this! It looks SO comfortable. I tried to play without a shoulder rest before, but the violin always slipped and I have a pin that holds the chin rest in place, and it comes out and hurts my neck. Even if I don't win this ill probabley get one of these in the future because it looks like a great solution. thanks for the information and content Esther!!
Violin is my dreamed Christmas present. As a Violinist its just perfect add to this gift 🖤✨ I am subscribed to your Channel for such a long time but now i am also a subscriber to Dolphinos.
As an intermediate player I feel like this would help some of the pain that comes with playing. I have tried different shoulder rests to no avail. This would really help out a lot. Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
Thank you Esther😭informative video as always. I’ve always wanted to change my chin rest because I’ve always used the standard one but I’ve been starting to notice comfort issues with it after playing with a violin with another chin rest. It helped a bit when I changed my shoulder rest, however, I would like to eventually change my chin rest and one day be able to play without a shoulder rest. I can’t afford to change it right now (rip college life😔) so I was super excited when you announced the giveaway!! Of course I get that there will only be one winner so I’ll be super happy to anyone who wins this❤️ happy holidays~~
Hi Esther! I would absolutely love the the chin rest, it would be the best Christmas present ever ever ever!!! I have a diploma in violin and have been slowly getting things like a good bow, violin case and things like that as financially, it is not possible for me to get it all at once. Love your channel, I watch all the videos as soon as they come out 😂 Greetings from Tasmania:)
Hi Esther! Thank you for your review and all your advices, they are always very helpful. During the last two/three months I had been experimenting with different chin rests or shoulder rests, trying to find the perfect system and position for me. I played for 5 years when I was a child, then i quitted at 13 years old for soo many reasons. I started playing violin again a year and a half ago and I managed to pass the exams to go to music school, but now I'm way more tense. I'm a little girl, my hands and arms are little too. (If I stretch my hands I can play maximum an octave on piano) From the outside it would look like I'm playing a viola because of my size, hahahhaha! So I'm struggling with it too. My neck pain has increased lately , and my left shoulder is often tense, as of course my arms, my hand and then my fingers.I feel like there's something wrong with my system and position, and I'm still looking for those details that could make me feel more comfortable playing violin. That's why I would love to win this chin rest; as I trust your reviews, I know that this is going to be helpful to me. Then, I reeeeally want to feel more relaxed playing violin and the music I love. A part is being played by my anxiety too, but I'm sure that a different system could be a very good start to relax on my instrument. Tension is being one of my biggest enemies currently, it's frustrating not being able to play emotionally because of it! Grazie mille from Italy!
This is so great! I always struggle with my posture because my shoulder rest is not tall enough. It would be very lucky if I am presented this chin rest ❤️
Esther, thank you for your generosity, and for being an inspiration to many musicians worldwide! I have been experimenting with my own set up to increase comfort! Even if I do not win the giveaway, I will check this amazing product up! 🙂
Hello, lovely review! I would love to try this chin rest system as I am quite allergic to the exposed metal on my violins' chinrests currently. Perhaps this would prevent allergic reactions without needing to cover up with cloth that becomes more slippery and less secure. Great to see artists connecting and sharing their work!!!!
Hello Esther ! Thank you for this give away. I would love to try this chin rest, I am looking for something very comfortable and didn’t found it yet. This one seems so nice !!! Thank you, merry Christmas
Hello Esther Abrami! I would love to win this chin rest. I had this exact shape in mind as you use it, the higher it can be set the better. I am still a complete beginner as far as playing goes. Violin has always been a desire of mine. Corona was the perfect time to start. Another RUclipsr, by the way, gave the impetus. So, I did a lot of research, to the point where I was able to filter out the less good instruments by looking at pictures. Then I actually found a violin that met my expectations and fit into the budget. That the note was no longer inside bothered me little. However, a lot of work came to me with the good piece. The necessary professional repair of my violin took further weeks of research. Now the fingerboard is made, the top sits perfectly again where it belongs, the tuning pegs are new and properly worked in... many other little things have been corrected. The shellac polish was a real challenge.... after my desk, I ventured to the instrument. There was really a lot to learn. Along the way, I then optimized the sound holes as much as possible, there was still potential there to make the violin a little 'freer'. My handicraft training made that possible. What is missing is the chin rest. I tried a few and this is the one I had in mind as optimal. Only I had not found it. Now I have two more questions for you. My thoughts led me to think that it might be better to have another hole in the bridge, so that the frequencies are better separated from each other. There, where they 'cross' each other. Since I am still fresh in the subject, I thought maybe someone had tried this before me. The French masters had exactly this hole in the bridge. Later, the design of the Italians was also adopted in France, which is actually what everyone uses today. Have you ever played with such an old French bridge? The second question: Can you imagine that the violin would vibrate more freely if you left out the one fine tuner? The Wittner company has a tuning peg with transmission in their product line. Have you tried them? If you like I will send you the links. Liebe Grüße
Hello, thanks for the review (for me :) ) it's made very well! I'm not that good at writing sentimental or beautiful comment 😅 especially, if it's about having the chance to win such a generous gift from such a awesome violinist and person. Of course for me as a young violinist, who really wants to achieve something in the beautiful world of music, by giving the best he can, it would be just perfect to get such a good chin- and shoulderrest. Even if I maybe don't get it I want to thank you very much for the giveaways you are doing this month. But especially for anything else. You are a huge inspiration and a very simpathic and nice person. I wish you the best for the rest of this year and for the (many) next years filled up with music and joy. Hope to see you in Vienna someday! 😊🎻🎶
Hello Marko, Thank you for the lovely comment. I am very happy to let you know that you have been picked as the winner for this giveaway!! Could you please send me an email (abramiesthercontact@gmail.com) or direct message on Instagram (instagram.com/estherabrami) so we can organise the shipping of the chin rest for you!
Bonjour Esther, je suis guitariste depuis 23 ans et j'aimerais beaucoup decouvrir le violon ;) Voila , bonne continuation, c'est toi la meilleure, change rien.
I'm interested in this giveaway! I've been thinking of taking off the shoulder rest and starting to play without it because, you know, it gives you more freedom and a better soun quality. And it seems like it would be easier and much more comfortable with the anti-slip patch and the adjustable chin rest.
I’m very interested in the chin rest! I sure would like to win but it would be a miracle so I will think about buying this chin rest after I buy a new violin and bow. I want to study in music so I need a better instrument and some time to practice to get better as I am 19 years old and I’m still a beginner. It is going to be in at least a year and a half so I hope the chin rest will stay available. I do have quite a long neck so it would help me with my posture. Thank you so much for the opportunity and the discovery!
I‘m searching for the right chinrest for a Long time now., because I have some problems with my Own chinrest. So I would love to use a high quality chinrest like this one, to stop the tense and pressure in my neck and to play more at all😃 Btw I love your Channel and your playing!🎻 Best wishes from Germany 🥰
I would like to get this chin rest system, it would be a beautiful Christmas gift. And also because I want to try this, after a long practicing session I feel pain in my neck and back. So I hope this chin rest system could take it over. Thank you so much Ester for this giveaway 😊
The truth is that for some years now I have been suffering from the chin rest on my violin so I think this giveaway would be the best gift I could give myself.( Sorry for my English 😅) Thank you so much!!❤️
Boa noite, Sou brasileiro e assisti ao vídeo. Amaei a queixa e a almofada, mas não tenho nenhuma condição de comprar. Como faço pra ter acesso aos dois produtos? Parabéns. São maravilhosos
Finally a chin rest that is adjustable in height. Meaning it can be set very precisely at optimal height. Have always been and are stil struggling to find one that does just that. Either the shape isn't quite right or it is either too heigh or too low (the latter now that I'm transitioning to no shoulder rest). Seems like this one could finally provide a solution.
Hi Esther 🙂 I'm a student looking to going to a conservatory next year. Currently, I'm trying to improve my set up and trying out different shoulder rests/positions as I sometimes struggle with having a stiff neck or get some pain. I would love to have this chin rest, it seems of really high quality and really think it could help out with my posture and stiffness. Love the videos ❤️
I’m interested in this system and I think this would be perfect por me, here is the reason: I’d like to try this new system because it looks versatile enough and with different degrees of customization, I believe it would help me solve my setup issues that affect my posture. Also, the pad looks amazing!, I can see in the videos how it doesn’t slide! all my shoulder rests slide off of my shoulder all the time and I have to adjust them constantly. I have always loved playing the violin. Ever since I started studying, I have been trying to find a perfect setup for my violin playing; I have tried lots of different chin rests and lots of shoulder rests as well. None of them have been ideal for me, I have developed pain in my neck and in my back due to this. I can’t play for more than a straight hour, I have to take regular breaks so my neck and back get relaxed. Although I’m not a professional player, I know that my setup is the main issue. I have no problems changing positions and moving around the violin when I’m studying, my hand is not tense at all nor is it my arm and my shoulders. The problem is that I have to lean my head forwards and downwards a bit in order to hold the violin because I have kind of a long neck; I have a centered chin rest that helps me improve my posture, but I still feel my posture fairly asymmetric. I feel frustrated during my study sessions because I get tired really quickly and I don’t make a great progress as I would like to. Thank you for reading my comment :). Good look to everyone in this giveaway!
I’m a Masters student studying viola. I tried every chinrest on the market and still couldn’t find a good match. I started with violin as a child and I played always without a shoulder rest. The problem I faced throughout the years is that the commercial chinrests doesn’t usually come with have enough height. One has to put cork under the chinrest, but that kills the sound of the instrument and it‘s also quite unstable. This system sounds and looks amazing, also how you can adjust the height. I get the same neck tension like you mentioned in the video so I would ne interested to try it out personally and hopefully find comfort in my playing. The silicon pad also looks definitely like something I would enjoy using. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would be so happy if I could win this chin rest system. Since I started playing violin I've had problems with my posture caused by my long neck, this has caused me several problems. I've resolved some of them with the years, but I haven´t found the perfect set of chin/shoulder rest for me and my body, so having the opportunity of trying this chin rest would be perfect since it's difficult for me to afford this products and try different sets. Hope you read my comment! :) Also, thanks for doing all you do, you're an amazing player. I hope I can see you live soon!
Hi, Esther! I’m so interested in this chin rest, because I have a similar one and I play without a shoulder rest (I use a red sponge) and even though it’s comfortable, it’s too small!! This chin rest would really help my pain and allow me to continue playing without a shoulder rest. Thank you!
So hello, I really want this chinrest because I play the violin for a long time now and my chinrest is not very comfortable. Yours seems more big and comfy compare to mine. I also really love your channel. Have a great day. Stay healthy! :)
I find Wittner Augsburg Centered chin-rest to be excellent value for money. 4 heights to choose from, anatomically shaped, non-allergenic composite material.
I really wish I had this chin rest bc although I play violin for 12 years now I have not found the perfect set which suits my body. I have tried many shoulder rest but nothing really made a difference, now I feel like the last chance is to try chin rests. In my view the comfort during playing plays the key role in practising ( especially for many hours), and has a major impact of body tension while performing Best regard Esther
i would like to win this chin rest it looks so comfy!! I've had neck problems for the past 4 years and sometimes its hard to play ive tried some different shoulder and chin rests but that looks so high quality and suitable for me i think it would really help my posture while playing
I would love to win this chin-rest for my (high necked)father as a Christmas present because I saw it on his computer but is a bit to expensive for us to buy. I am now also since a long time subscribed to you both as I love your videos and was fansinated by the engineering in the Dolfinos especially that you can raise the height and that it improves the sound.
Love this video and if I win the chin rest I will be as good violinist as your are in 47 years instead of 93 years, and than is a big advantage. I want it for my son!
Hi! My daughter is a freshman (in college) violin performance major at a nearby conservatory. She's always struggled with her shoulder rest/chin rest combination due to a longer neck, and now her new conservatory violin teacher wants her to learn to play without a shoulder rest, and no chin rest we can find seems to be tall enough. Our nearest violin shop (over an hour away) is closed for trying on different rests and in house instrument trials (only open for picking up orders) due to COVID, so she can't go try any out. This adjustable rest sounds like just the thing that could allow her to finally go without a shoulder rest. I have subscribed to both your channel and Dolfinos' channel.
Hi Esther. I think that chin rest might be exactly what I need. I play without a shoulder rest also and I still couldn't find a shoulder rest that feels comfortable. To be honest, it's the main reason why I haven't been practicing as much as I should. The shape of your chin rest in particular looks very interesting, because it's pretty wide for a center chin rest. I often find most center chin rests to be a bit too small, like I need a bit more space to move or slightly change the position of my chin, you know?. Also being able to adjust the height is a huge plus. I think the pad to put under it is a great idea too. And the fact you have nothing sticking out at the end sounds good too. The thing is I'm from Argentina and right now we have some horrible regulations making it almost impossible to make international purchases here, so I don't think I'll be able to order this anytime soon. Either way, if I don't get picked for the giveaway I'm still saving this video for the time when I can order it, or in case someone can bring it for me sometime. Thanks for the review. And for all your content!
I would love to win ! I don't have a good charitable reason for wanting the chinrest other than I would love to try it. It looks so good on your violin and I think would on mine too. I have some neck tension and I am tall with a long neck. Fact: I have practiced every single day since March this year and I am fully committed to playing 🎻. I love your playing , you are amazing !! I really hope I win 🙏. Thank you.
I'm interested in this chinrest, it seems like it would really help with my neck and upper back pain because a have a really long neck. Also love your makeup look!
Hi Esther! I would love to try this chin rest. I've had problems in the past with uncomfortable setup for my violin, and I've recently started to play without a shoulder rest which seems to work quite well for me! I think this chin rest would improve my comfort when playing even more (especially if I will be able to adjust the height!), and this sticky pad for the back of the violin would also allow me to play without having to pull down my sleeve like you mentioned😅thanks!💜
Dear Esther, it looks like you may have found your chinrest! Im still experimenting.thank you for the offer of entering the giveaway but im not interested. I must touch and feel and mount the chin rest in order to determin if it is suitable for my anatomy. Someone out there needs that chinrest more than me. I am content. Thank you! Your runs are effortless in appearance very gypsy like and old world Italian dance like. Very gorgeous! I wish i could play that well! Thank you for demostrating the Dolphinos system of chinrest! Bye for now!😅
I would love to get this chin rest because the one i currently have is too low and it causes me neck pains especially because i don’t use a shoulder rest. it looks comfortable and i don’t have enough money to buy a new one, especially seeing that this one is expensive. It would be a nice christmas gift for myself.
I’d love to win this! Not for myself but a fellow friend of mine who is a phenomenal violinist who loves to perform. I know she would love this chin rest as she talks about it ALL the time and it would be perfect as her birthday is coming up soon!
Hii I'm a violinist from Spain, and I really like all of your videos and what are you doing right now with the 12 christmas presents. You are very generaous😍. I would like to have one of this chin rest because my chin rest is very old, and I change the violin, the bow, because I'm studying hard to try to continue in the life of the music, and a new chin rest could be great. Thank you❤❤
I would love to win this! I feel I need a taller chin rest and am keen to try and play without a shoulder rest. I know it dampens the sound and have been looking for a set up like this for a while. Im working towards my violin diploma so this would be a wonderful addition to my learning. X
Bonjour Esther je un violoniste marocain j’ai fais des études de violon classsique à Lyon en 1995 je veux juste te dire que j’ai bien aimé ce que tu fait , je viens d’apprendre que tu es française lorsque j’ai vu un de t’ai vidéo tu parle en français , ravi de te suivre.

Hi Esther, do you still have a 25% discount code for the Pure Chinrest for viola?
As a violinist I’ve experienced great shoulder and neck pain after 20+ years of playing, it has gotten much worse and I may require surgery if I cannot find a more comfortable set up. This surgery would buy a rod up through my neck and limit rotation which could keep me from playing. This is my career and passion, potentially losing music would be losing my purpose and life. I feel I would greatly benefit from the dolfinos system and ultimately continue to teach music and play professionally. Thank you🎶
I would love to have one of these chin rests. My violin teacher told me that I need to get a center mounted chin rest. I have looked at Dolphinos, but thought it was too expensive for a beginner. I have been playing just over a year (I’m 72 years old). I have really enjoyed your Master classes that you did with Trala. You are so talented and beautiful. Thanks for your inspiring RUclips videos.
Thanks for sharing this chin rest review! Congratulations for your channel and for your way of playing.
This seems to be a brilliant system, and may be just what I am looking for when needing to replace/do away with my shoulder rest which is long out of production but is perfectly suited to personal needs. Thank you for the review and give away.

When I saw your video I was delighted to see this beautiful adjustable chin rest, and being able to get it as a gift would be a dream for me! 🥰 I was already subscribed to your RUclips channel as I enjoy your videos a lot. I also subscribed to the Dolfinos RUclips channel. I would love to win this amazing chin rest ❤️ Thank you for your generosity! Either way, I am delighted to have met you in RUclips, you are a brilliant violinist and a truly charming person. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎁
Hi Esther, I was first fascinated by your bow range comparison video and besides it was short enough to recognise the difference between bows, I found myself falling into your channel for a while and loved your music and smile! I hope I would be able to get this chin rest as I am about to start picking up violin after a few years rest, you are one of my inspirations and I sincerely wish to get this!! Thanks❤️
I'm interested in this chin rest! Looks like a helpful system for people like us with longer necks. I do have some neck pain that I hope this can relieve.
Yes!
Always love your videos and these giveaways are a great way to give back!
Hello Esther! I would be glad to give this chin rest as a present to a friend of mine and colleague. As well as being a violinist, he’s fascinated by how the violin itself works and usually conducts personal research on its possibilities and accessories.
Hi Esther! Thanks so much for your honest review. I've been on the hunt for a new chin rest, and I love that the Dolfinos system is adjustable for the perfect fit. I would love to try this one, so thanks for the opportunity to be entered into the giveaway!
Esther! My name is Valeria and i am from mexico, I follow you since years ago! I have been troubling with my neck since some years because it is really long and that set of chinrests would help me a lot for my development as violin student and because of my actual financial situation wont be possible that i get soon... I widh you a merry Christmas and I hope I will be lucky to be the chosen one!
Hello, I'm Karina and I've recently started music uni, thus I've had to increase the amount of study time for violin, wich I absolutely enjoy! The only problems that I've been trying to fight off are bad neck and back pains... My complexion is very petite, so I've found trouble finding an adjustable set up for my violin, added to this... I get really bad allergies with nickel so I get very painful rashes whenever I forget to put a cloth in my neck. This chinrest set-up would be such a great relief so I can keep practicing a lot without worrying about damaging my body or skin 😃 Love you, Esther!!!
Hi Esther, today I have found your channel and I am fan of you from now on. I live in the Netherlands and discovered the violin a few weeks ago and it is already my biggest hobby. At the moment I write this I have a really bad headache, probably from too long practicing yesterday... So I really hope I can win the chin rest for more comfort! I'm going to listen to your beautiful playing now and hope it will relieve my headache.. Best wishes, Miranda
Bonjour Esther, c'est très gentil de ta part de faire cela ! Je suis également très intéressé par cette mentonnière . J'ai en effet un très long coup et une mâchoire très fine et je suis en constante de recherche d'une mentonnière qui ne me cause pas de douleurs Je suis encore élève de conservatoire (15 ans ) et je compte (du moins jespere pouvoir ) en faire mon métier. Merci en tout cas pour tout ce que tu fais et de partager ta passion avec nous !
Bonnes fêtes !
This looks amazing! I have struggled with chin rests and shoulder rests throughout my entire playing career. Sometime playing is down right painful. I’ve continued playing anyways, but it would be amazing to have a chin rest that actually gets high enough. Thank you for doing this wonderful chinrest give away!
Fingers crossed :) I have been through at least 6 or so chin tests trying to find the right one. I have a longer neck, so finding one that is both comfortable and tension reducing is difficult for me. Some have reduced my neck pain and jaw tension, but I still have yet to find the one that does the job well enough. I’ve been searching for years, so I’m hoping this one is the perfect fit! The features are very impressive and it looks as if it can make a lot of improvements to my posture and technical abilities. Either way I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thanks for the wonderful review and comparisons :) happy holidays!!
Dear Esther, thank you very much for your review, it opened my eyes!
I usually study medicine at the Charité in Berlin and have been working for the Berlin Philharmonic since the pandemic. By carrying out the Covid tests, I got close to the musicians and rediscovered my love for playing the violin and recently discovered your channel. When I started playing the violin at the age of 6, I could not have suspected that I would later be 1.90 m tall and that it could lead to difficulties in bowing, intonation in very high registers or my posture. The chin rest by DOLFINOS would therefore make playing the violin much more pleasant and enjoyable. I would be so beyond happy about it. :) Merry Christmas to everyone! ✨
Hi Esther!
I started the violin a bit later than most people. Since then I have been playing almost every day for 3 years. My teacher, who is also my aunt, just had me start bachs solo works for the violin! We started with the E major preludio. I am tall and I think that having a taller chin rest would help with the neck discomfort I have been having recently.
I love your channel. You always have lots of positive energy and a big smile. Please keep the positive vibes coming.😁
Thank you so much for sharing your precious experiences, that was really useful 😍❤️🎻
As a violinist who eschews shoulder rests, I’m very intrigued by this chin rest, and your recommendation carries great weight. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
I have played violin for almost a year now, and you've been an inspiration and you're so incredible talented. Keep it up because I'd like to hear some more:)
I'm interested in this chin rest, Esther! I have a long neck, this seems helpful for my neck pain.
Thank you so much for sharing esther i truly appreciate you so much
Hi Esther,
Great video! You really inspire me! I have been playing the violin for 13 years and I am 17years old. I am really interested in the chin rest because I need a comfier set up for my practice. I practice about 5hours a day and the chin rest would be very beneficial. I have been having problems with my current chin rest as it has been affecting my jaw. This chin rest looks amazing! It looks like it would be really suitable for me because it seems to be quite petite.
I hope you continue to do great videos like these. You are an amazing violinist. Xxxx
Love from
Maisie x
i'm interested in this chin rest system because it seems very comfortable, much more healthier for your posture and i've always wanted to try it!!
Yes, I have seen this chin rest too. But it is pretty expensive
Hi Esther, thank you for introducing me to dolfinos chin rests! I saw your video pop up in my feed and I was very excited because I have been having a lot of trouble with finding the right chin rest. I would really love to try out Dolfinios!
I'm interested in the chin rest. I'm 14 and I love playing the violin. Love your videos keep up the good work 🤗
i would like to win this chin rest because i really can't find any chin rests in my price range that are high quality and are suitable for me (i have a long neck). so basically even with a shoulder rest i have difficulties with my neck and back posture because i keep slouching to hold my violin properly. thank you for being so generous during this difficult time❤️❤️❤️
Merci Esther pour les explications ! Sur leur site internet elles sont moins claires. Je souhaitais cependant en acheter un pour ma fille de 7 ans et pour moi. Nous jouons toutes les 2 sans coussin. C'est souvent difficile de maintenir le violon en serrant le menton dessus... Nous compensons avec la main gauche, qui perd ainsi en liberté.
Donc ce serait un beau cadeau pour nous !
Je vous souhaite de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année, et j'espère que 2021 sera l'année où nous pourrons aller vous écouter à Lyon !
I really need to try some chin rests!!! Thanks Esther Abrami for the opportunity
Hello Esther thank you for this amazing chin rest.I have been playing the violin for about 1 year and I kinda need an other chin rest but unfortunately I can't afford it but thats not the main reason to be honest I would love to have a new one because I am not so comfortable with this.Thank you again.!!!😊😊
I play a16” viola and have been struggling with a setup that doesn’t have me over gripping with my chin and shoulder which deadens the sound. I love the height adjustment feature so much on this chin rest that I think it would really help me. I’d love to win it! Thank you for making this offer.
I've been playing violin for a few years now and would love an upgrade! Thank you for the video💙
I world loooove to win this chin rest! My current teacher at the Conservatory (Italy) is against shoulder rest but I've never found a chin rest that could suit my long neck so I tend to use the head to keep the violin in place, but it creates a lot of tension in my back and it's not very pretty to see. Thank you!
Thank you Esther for being a grate inspiration. I am interested in the chin rest. Love from Argentina
Thank you for sharing from Italy, I'm just learning to play and l'm trying to learning without shoulder rest, so I 'm planning to change my chin rest as soon it possible for my economic possibility, thank you again, I follow your video with great intreast! Ciao dall' Italia, love to you and your family ❤️
I have been playing the violin for 3 years and would love to win this chin rest, looks pretty smooth and relaxing!!
I‘m interested in this chinrest😄
With the Dolfinos System i want to reduce tensions and become more freedom in sound and playing.
All the best
David
I've always felt that you need a higher chin rest than what the wittner center could provide, and now you have the solution for both the chin rest and the shoulder anti-slip. I would like to try this chin rest and their integrated shoulder rest too.
Very beautiful, I thinkI think it would be very helpful and my chin broke just yesterday. I like a lot this type and it looks like comfortable and beautiful. So.... Good luck!! 😍🤞🍀
I would love to win this! It looks SO comfortable. I tried to play without a shoulder rest before, but the violin always slipped and I have a pin that holds the chin rest in place, and it comes out and hurts my neck. Even if I don't win this ill probabley get one of these in the future because it looks like a great solution. thanks for the information and content Esther!!
Increíble !! Me gustaría tener el chin rest se ve muy práctico y cómodo saludos desde Mexico!!!
Violin is my dreamed Christmas present. As a Violinist its just perfect add to this gift 🖤✨
I am subscribed to your Channel for such a long time but now i am also a subscriber to Dolphinos.
May you get what you wished for 🥰🥰....
As an intermediate player I feel like this would help some of the pain that comes with playing. I have tried different shoulder rests to no avail. This would really help out a lot. Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
Thank you Esther😭informative video as always. I’ve always wanted to change my chin rest because I’ve always used the standard one but I’ve been starting to notice comfort issues with it after playing with a violin with another chin rest. It helped a bit when I changed my shoulder rest, however, I would like to eventually change my chin rest and one day be able to play without a shoulder rest. I can’t afford to change it right now (rip college life😔) so I was super excited when you announced the giveaway!! Of course I get that there will only be one winner so I’ll be super happy to anyone who wins this❤️ happy holidays~~
Hi Esther! I would absolutely love the the chin rest, it would be the best Christmas present ever ever ever!!! I have a diploma in violin and have been slowly getting things like a good bow, violin case and things like that as financially, it is not possible for me to get it all at once.
Love your channel, I watch all the videos as soon as they come out 😂
Greetings from Tasmania:)
Hi Esther! Thank you for your review and all your advices, they are always very helpful. During the last two/three months I had been experimenting with different chin rests or shoulder rests, trying to find the perfect system and position for me. I played for 5 years when I was a child, then i quitted at 13 years old for soo many reasons. I started playing violin again a year and a half ago and I managed to pass the exams to go to music school, but now I'm way more tense. I'm a little girl, my hands and arms are little too. (If I stretch my hands I can play maximum an octave on piano) From the outside it would look like I'm playing a viola because of my size, hahahhaha! So I'm struggling with it too. My neck pain has increased lately , and my left shoulder is often tense, as of course my arms, my hand and then my fingers.I feel like there's something wrong with my system and position, and I'm still looking for those details that could make me feel more comfortable playing violin. That's why I would love to win this chin rest; as I trust your reviews, I know that this is going to be helpful to me. Then, I reeeeally want to feel more relaxed playing violin and the music I love. A part is being played by my anxiety too, but I'm sure that a different system could be a very good start to relax on my instrument. Tension is being one of my biggest enemies currently, it's frustrating not being able to play emotionally because of it! Grazie mille from Italy!
I desperately need a new chinrest because the one I have now isn't very comfortable! Great review by the way!👍
This is so great! I always struggle with my posture because my shoulder rest is not tall enough. It would be very lucky if I am presented this chin rest ❤️
best of luck everyone
I'm interested in this chin rest system as it seems a lot more comfy than the one I have and is a big upgrade! :)
Me too, same reason lol.
Esther, thank you for your generosity, and for being an inspiration to many musicians worldwide! I have been experimenting with my own set up to increase comfort! Even if I do not win the giveaway, I will check this amazing product up! 🙂
Hello, lovely review! I would love to try this chin rest system as I am quite allergic to the exposed metal on my violins' chinrests currently. Perhaps this would prevent allergic reactions without needing to cover up with cloth that becomes more slippery and less secure. Great to see artists connecting and sharing their work!!!!
Hello Esther ! Thank you for this give away.
I would love to try this chin rest, I am looking for something very comfortable and didn’t found it yet. This one seems so nice !!!
Thank you, merry Christmas
Hello Esther Abrami!
I would love to win this chin rest. I had this exact shape in mind as you use it, the higher it can be set the better.
I am still a complete beginner as far as playing goes. Violin has always been a desire of mine. Corona was the perfect time to start. Another RUclipsr, by the way, gave the impetus.
So, I did a lot of research, to the point where I was able to filter out the less good instruments by looking at pictures. Then I actually found a violin that met my expectations and fit into the budget.
That the note was no longer inside bothered me little. However, a lot of work came to me with the good piece.
The necessary professional repair of my violin took further weeks of research. Now the fingerboard is made, the top sits perfectly again where it belongs, the tuning pegs are new and properly worked in... many other little things have been corrected. The shellac polish was a real challenge.... after my desk, I ventured to the instrument.
There was really a lot to learn. Along the way, I then optimized the sound holes as much as possible, there was still potential there to make the violin a little 'freer'.
My handicraft training made that possible.
What is missing is the chin rest. I tried a few and this is the one I had in mind as optimal. Only I had not found it.
Now I have two more questions for you. My thoughts led me to think that it might be better to have another hole in the bridge, so that the frequencies are better separated from each other. There, where they 'cross' each other. Since I am still fresh in the subject, I thought maybe someone had tried this before me. The French masters had exactly this hole in the bridge. Later, the design of the Italians was also adopted in France, which is actually what everyone uses today. Have you ever played with such an old French bridge?
The second question: Can you imagine that the violin would vibrate more freely if you left out the one fine tuner? The Wittner company has a tuning peg with transmission in their product line. Have you tried them?
If you like I will send you the links.
Liebe Grüße
Hello, thanks for the review (for me :) ) it's made very well! I'm not that good at writing sentimental or beautiful comment 😅 especially, if it's about having the chance to win such a generous gift from such a awesome violinist and person. Of course for me as a young violinist, who really wants to achieve something in the beautiful world of music, by giving the best he can, it would be just perfect to get such a good chin- and shoulderrest. Even if I maybe don't get it I want to thank you very much for the giveaways you are doing this month. But especially for anything else. You are a huge inspiration and a very simpathic and nice person. I wish you the best for the rest of this year and for the (many) next years filled up with music and joy.
Hope to see you in Vienna someday! 😊🎻🎶
Hello Marko, Thank you for the lovely comment. I am very happy to let you know that you have been picked as the winner for this giveaway!! Could you please send me an email (abramiesthercontact@gmail.com) or direct message on Instagram (instagram.com/estherabrami) so we can organise the shipping of the chin rest for you!
Bonjour Esther, je suis guitariste depuis 23 ans et j'aimerais beaucoup decouvrir le violon ;) Voila , bonne continuation, c'est toi la meilleure, change rien.
I'm interested in this giveaway! I've been thinking of taking off the shoulder rest and starting to play without it because, you know, it gives you more freedom and a better soun quality. And it seems like it would be easier and much more comfortable with the anti-slip patch and the adjustable chin rest.
I’m very interested in the chin rest! I sure would like to win but it would be a miracle so I will think about buying this chin rest after I buy a new violin and bow. I want to study in music so I need a better instrument and some time to practice to get better as I am 19 years old and I’m still a beginner. It is going to be in at least a year and a half so I hope the chin rest will stay available. I do have quite a long neck so it would help me with my posture. Thank you so much for the opportunity and the discovery!
I’d love to put my hat in the ring to win. Looks like a really comfortable system, I’d love to try it for violin or viola!
The chinrest does look confortable ! I would really love to get one!
I‘m searching for the right chinrest for a Long time now., because I have some problems with my Own chinrest. So I would love to use a high quality chinrest like this one, to stop the tense and pressure in my neck and to play more at all😃
Btw I love your Channel and your playing!🎻
Best wishes from Germany 🥰
I would like to get this chin rest system, it would be a beautiful Christmas gift. And also because I want to try this, after a long practicing session I feel pain in my neck and back. So I hope this chin rest system could take it over.
Thank you so much Ester for this giveaway 😊
The truth is that for some years now I have been suffering from the chin rest on my violin so I think this giveaway would be the best gift I could give myself.( Sorry for my English 😅) Thank you so much!!❤️
Boa noite,
Sou brasileiro e assisti ao vídeo. Amaei a queixa e a almofada, mas não tenho nenhuma condição de comprar. Como faço pra ter acesso aos dois produtos?
Parabéns. São maravilhosos
Finally a chin rest that is adjustable in height. Meaning it can be set very precisely at optimal height. Have always been and are stil struggling to find one that does just that. Either the shape isn't quite right or it is either too heigh or too low (the latter now that I'm transitioning to no shoulder rest). Seems like this one could finally provide a solution.
Hi Esther 🙂 I'm a student looking to going to a conservatory next year. Currently, I'm trying to improve my set up and trying out different shoulder rests/positions as I sometimes struggle with having a stiff neck or get some pain. I would love to have this chin rest, it seems of really high quality and really think it could help out with my posture and stiffness. Love the videos ❤️
I’m interested in this system and I think this would be perfect por me, here is the reason:
I’d like to try this new system because it looks versatile enough and with different degrees of customization, I believe it would help me solve my setup issues that affect my posture. Also, the pad looks amazing!, I can see in the videos how it doesn’t slide! all my shoulder rests slide off of my shoulder all the time and I have to adjust them constantly.
I have always loved playing the violin. Ever since I started studying, I have been trying to find a perfect setup for my violin playing; I have tried lots of different chin rests and lots of shoulder rests as well. None of them have been ideal for me, I have developed pain in my neck and in my back due to this. I can’t play for more than a straight hour, I have to take regular breaks so my neck and back get relaxed.
Although I’m not a professional player, I know that my setup is the main issue. I have no problems changing positions and moving around the violin when I’m studying, my hand is not tense at all nor is it my arm and my shoulders. The problem is that I have to lean my head forwards and downwards a bit in order to hold the violin because I have kind of a long neck; I have a centered chin rest that helps me improve my posture, but I still feel my posture fairly asymmetric.
I feel frustrated during my study sessions because I get tired really quickly and I don’t make a great progress as I would like to.
Thank you for reading my comment :). Good look to everyone in this giveaway!
You and your violin look beautiful.Hi from Turkey😁🖐
I’m a Masters student studying viola. I tried every chinrest on the market and still couldn’t find a good match. I started with violin as a child and I played always without a shoulder rest. The problem I faced throughout the years is that the commercial chinrests doesn’t usually come with have enough height. One has to put cork under the chinrest, but that kills the sound of the instrument and it‘s also quite unstable. This system sounds and looks amazing, also how you can adjust the height. I get the same neck tension like you mentioned in the video so I would ne interested to try it out personally and hopefully find comfort in my playing. The silicon pad also looks definitely like something I would enjoy using. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would be so happy if I could win this chin rest system. Since I started playing violin I've had problems with my posture caused by my long neck, this has caused me several problems. I've resolved some of them with the years, but I haven´t found the perfect set of chin/shoulder rest for me and my body, so having the opportunity of trying this chin rest would be perfect since it's difficult for me to afford this products and try different sets. Hope you read my comment! :)
Also, thanks for doing all you do, you're an amazing player. I hope I can see you live soon!
Hi, Esther! I’m so interested in this chin rest, because I have a similar one and I play without a shoulder rest (I use a red sponge) and even though it’s comfortable, it’s too small!! This chin rest would really help my pain and allow me to continue playing without a shoulder rest. Thank you!
So hello, I really want this chinrest because I play the violin for a long time now and my chinrest is not very comfortable. Yours seems more big and comfy compare to mine. I also really love your channel. Have a great day. Stay healthy! :)
I want it!!! I'm starting to play without a shoulder rest and I think it would really be usefull!
I find Wittner Augsburg Centered chin-rest to be excellent value for money. 4 heights to choose from, anatomically shaped, non-allergenic composite material.
I really wish I had this chin rest bc although I play violin for 12 years now I have not found the perfect set which suits my body. I have tried many shoulder rest but nothing really made a difference, now I feel like the last chance is to try chin rests. In my view the comfort during playing plays the key role in practising ( especially for many hours), and has a major impact of body tension while performing
Best regard Esther
i would like to win this chin rest it looks so comfy!! I've had neck problems for the past 4 years and sometimes its hard to play ive tried some different shoulder and chin rests but that looks so high quality and suitable for me i think it would really help my posture while playing
I would love to win this chin-rest for my (high necked)father as a Christmas present because I saw it on his computer but is a bit to expensive for us to buy.
I am now also since a long time subscribed to you both as I love your videos and was fansinated by the engineering in the Dolfinos especially that you can raise the height and that it improves the sound.
I play without shoulder rest like you🙃I would be soooooo eager and intrigued to try this chinrest system!!!💪🏻🎻
Love this video and if I win the chin rest I will be as good violinist as your are in 47 years instead of 93 years, and than is a big advantage. I want it for my son!
It's so good..that's means we are even don't need the shoulder rest anymore 👍🤗
Hi! My daughter is a freshman (in college) violin performance major at a nearby conservatory. She's always struggled with her shoulder rest/chin rest combination due to a longer neck, and now her new conservatory violin teacher wants her to learn to play without a shoulder rest, and no chin rest we can find seems to be tall enough. Our nearest violin shop (over an hour away) is closed for trying on different rests and in house instrument trials (only open for picking up orders) due to COVID, so she can't go try any out. This adjustable rest sounds like just the thing that could allow her to finally go without a shoulder rest. I have subscribed to both your channel and Dolfinos' channel.
Hi Esther. I think that chin rest might be exactly what I need. I play without a shoulder rest also and I still couldn't find a shoulder rest that feels comfortable. To be honest, it's the main reason why I haven't been practicing as much as I should. The shape of your chin rest in particular looks very interesting, because it's pretty wide for a center chin rest. I often find most center chin rests to be a bit too small, like I need a bit more space to move or slightly change the position of my chin, you know?. Also being able to adjust the height is a huge plus. I think the pad to put under it is a great idea too. And the fact you have nothing sticking out at the end sounds good too.
The thing is I'm from Argentina and right now we have some horrible regulations making it almost impossible to make international purchases here, so I don't think I'll be able to order this anytime soon.
Either way, if I don't get picked for the giveaway I'm still saving this video for the time when I can order it, or in case someone can bring it for me sometime.
Thanks for the review. And for all your content!
I would love to win !
I don't have a good charitable reason for wanting the chinrest other than I would love to try it. It looks so good on your violin and I think would on mine too.
I have some neck tension and I am tall with a long neck. Fact: I have practiced every single day since March this year and I am fully committed to playing 🎻. I love your playing , you are amazing !! I really hope I win 🙏.
Thank you.
Esther, you are such a beautiful soul! Belladonna !
I'm interested in this chinrest, it seems like it would really help with my neck and upper back pain because a have a really long neck. Also love your makeup look!
Hi Esther! I would love to try this chin rest. I've had problems in the past with uncomfortable setup for my violin, and I've recently started to play without a shoulder rest which seems to work quite well for me! I think this chin rest would improve my comfort when playing even more (especially if I will be able to adjust the height!), and this sticky pad for the back of the violin would also allow me to play without having to pull down my sleeve like you mentioned😅thanks!💜
Dear Esther, it looks like you may have found your chinrest! Im still experimenting.thank you for the offer of entering the giveaway but im not interested. I must touch and feel and mount the chin rest in order to determin if it is suitable for my anatomy. Someone out there needs that chinrest more than me. I am content. Thank you! Your runs are effortless in appearance very gypsy like and old world Italian dance like. Very gorgeous! I wish i could play that well! Thank you for demostrating the Dolphinos system of chinrest! Bye for now!😅
I really like that you can adjust the height with this chin rest and it would be a huge upgrade to my current chinrest which is quite low.
love you Esther
Every man's chin needs rest after watching your videos
I would love to get this chin rest because the one i currently have is too low and it causes me neck pains especially because i don’t use a shoulder rest. it looks comfortable and i don’t have enough money to buy a new one, especially seeing that this one is expensive. It would be a nice christmas gift for myself.
Hi, Esther! I want to experience that comfort while playing 🤗
I’d love to win this! Not for myself but a fellow friend of mine who is a phenomenal violinist who loves to perform. I know she would love this chin rest as she talks about it ALL the time and it would be perfect as her birthday is coming up soon!
Hii
I'm a violinist from Spain, and I really like all of your videos and what are you doing right now with the 12 christmas presents. You are very generaous😍.
I would like to have one of this chin rest because my chin rest is very old, and I change the violin, the bow, because I'm studying hard to try to continue in the life of the music, and a new chin rest could be great. Thank you❤❤
I'm interested because in my country it is difficult to find different accessories that give you comfort and the pads are not very comfortable for me
I would love to win this! I feel I need a taller chin rest and am keen to try and play without a shoulder rest. I know it dampens the sound and have been looking for a set up like this for a while. Im working towards my violin diploma so this would be a wonderful addition to my learning. X
Bonjour Esther je un violoniste marocain j’ai fais des études de violon classsique à Lyon en 1995 je veux juste te dire que j’ai bien aimé ce que tu fait , je viens d’apprendre que tu es française lorsque j’ai vu un de t’ai vidéo tu parle en français , ravi de te suivre.
I'm interested in having that chin rest! Thank you.
