Pirastro KorfkerSpring Chinrest

The Pirastro KorfkerSpring® was introduced in response to two major trends within the violin and viola community. The search for ergonomic tools to make playing physically more balanced and free, and the search for accessories that allow the instrument to sound at its best. The first of these two trends is reflected by a growing awareness amongst musicians of the importance of a healthy, balanced, and free use of the body evidenced by an increased interest in supporting body work.

In support of this trend, product developer Berent Korfker has invented a flexible chinrest which empowers a new generation of players with a tool that enables free movement, supports upper-body tension release, and fosters a more natural, active connection with their instrument. Simultaneously, the astonishing improvement in acoustic fidelity offered by the Pirastro KorfkerSpring® will delight those musicians looking to optimize the sound of their instruments.
