Nero Hollywood Violin Chinrest with Chrome or Black Brackets

The Hollywood chinrest is a rarely found and very comfortable side mounted chinrest that extends over the tailpiece with a raised hump. At the highest point the chinrest stands 28 mm cup above the surface of the top, and the arch underneath the chinrest has been engineered to clear most peaked tailpieces. It is both comfortable and gives the player outstanding effortless leverage.

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.
