Extra High Teka Violin Chinrest in Indian Rosewood by Figaro Importers (40 and 50mm height)

The Teka is a high side mounted chinrest favored for its leverage that assists many longer-necked violinists. The extra high model is even more advantageous that the standard model for those who need it. It has a swooped surface that angles down to the left. Height of the highest edge is 40 mm or 50mm at the highest point and 35 or 30 mm at the lowest point. Figaro fine fittings are made only from the best sourced materials and finished by hand by craftsmen in a family owned business. The quarter sawn Rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia), is harvested in north east India. It is aged in the log for a minimum of two years. Only large logs with the straightest grain are selected for our fittings. The cork (Quercus suber) is the finest quality, fitted precisely to minimize acoustic interference and to maximize stability. The chrome fittings are all individually fitted by hand and are straight and thread easily. There are no chinrests available that are superior!
