Almond Violin Chinrest in Pao Santos
The chinrests of the Almond series are the result of a meticulous study of violin and viola posture.
It is essential to feel comfortable with your instrument at all times—from orchestral rehearsals and personal practice to solo performances. Unfortunately, instruments like the violin and viola are inherently "uncomfortable." The many hours spent playing often become a source of physical strain, particularly concentrated in the neck and cervical area. One can only imagine the disastrous impact this can have on performance and, ultimately, on daily life. (I say "our" because I was a musician myself and, as such, I have experienced these issues firsthand, in a sense "taxing" my own health).
While many factors can only be addressed through posture and relaxation techniques, the chinrest is an element that can be redesigned in terms of ergonomics. By using the right chinrest, we can alleviate discomfort and tension in the neck muscles.
It is no exaggeration to say that choosing the right chinrest is a fundamental step in a performer's professional growth. It improves the quality of time spent playing and, ultimately, makes life simpler and more comfortable.
