Nero Brandt Violin Chinrest with Chrome or Black Brackets
The Brandt is a side mounted chinrest favored for its asymmetrical shape that extends over the tailpiece that is comfortable for many players and is favored by many violinists who cannot get comfortable with other models. It has a medium deep cup that angles down at the far left. Cup height is 26 mm at the highest point.
Figaro fine fittings are made only from the best sourced materials and finished by hand by craftsmen in a family owned business.
The Nero material is made in the USA from eucalyptus paper and thermosetting resins. It is pure black and mimics the finest Madagascar ebony. It is hypoallergenic and not susceptible to humidity or temperature change. The surface is impermeable to sweat and body fluids and therefore very easy to clean. The cork (Quercus suber) is the finest quality, fitted precisely to minimize acoustic interference and to maximize stability. The hardware is all individually fitted by hand and are straight and thread easily. The Black brackets have the advantage of being less likely to produce sensitivity reactions for those players with nickel allergies compared to chrome brackets. There are no chinrests available that are superior.
Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability. There are no chinrests available that are superior. Fittings Matter!
