Finest Markneukirchen chinrest design
The advantages of the Stradivari and Guarneri models in a smaller, extremely lightweight build
The Jacob chinrest comes from our regional collaboration with master luthier Veit Jacob of Erlbach.
It combines the advantage of the classic "over the tailpiece" design used by Stradivari and Guarneri models with significantly reduced weight and size. The Jacob chinrest follows the Markneukirchen tradition of smaller chinrests.
