Playing without a shoulder rest.
When playing without a shoulder rest, the PURE Edition will
most likely be your choice. You will benefit from our easily
height-adjustable chinrests, as well as our patented DOLFINOS
adapter which supports the free resonance of your instrument.
We recommend to use the PURE Edition in combination with
our DOLFINOS Grip Pad, a washable, skin- and varnish-friendly
anti-slip pad, featuring our innovative micro-lamella technology
for best possible adhesion.
Which chinrest
should you get ?
Choosing the right chinrest is crucial in finding a comfortable playing position and maintaining a
good posture. As our system is designed to encourage a healthy playing position, it is possible that
the chinrest you need for using DOLFINOS differs greatly from the one that you currently have. Still,
the following guide aims to assist you in making the right choice based on what kind of chinrest you
currently have in use.
