Overview
The Pirastro KorfkerSpring is a revolutionary chinrest system designed to offer violinists and violists unparalleled freedom of movement and acoustic fidelity. Lovingly crafted in Germany, it features a chin plate shaped from hardened Swiss maple, chosen for its lightweight properties and acoustic transparency. Unlike rigid traditional rests, the KorfkerSpring utilizes a patented spring system that connects the plate to the instrument. This unique design allows the chinrest to move slightly with the player's jaw motions, helping to release upper body tension and preventing the clamping sensation that often restricts performance.
Engineered for complete personalization, this system allows for precise adjustments of position, height, rotation, and tilt to fit the unique ergonomics of any player. Suitable for both violins (3/4 to 4/4) and violas, and mountable in either center or side positions, the KorfkerSpring is constructed from sound-optimized materials weighing just 15 grams to minimize instrument dampening, paving the way for effortless self-expression and enhanced sound projection.
