    THE CHINREST LIP - THE MODERN WAY OF PLAYING TRADITIONALLY
    The greatest violinists in history (Heifetz, Oistrakh, Milstein, Grumiaux, Menuhin, Perlman, Mutter, Francescatti, Kogan, Kreisler, Elman, Stern, Ricci etc) held their instrument WITHOUT using a shoulder rest.
    Now you can too.
    The Chinrest Lip Company Ltd. is proud to introduce a thrilling new state-of-the-art product to the violin world! The Chinrest Lip is the streamlined result of 23 years of thoughtful research in the pursuit of excellence in violin performance. This new invention is ergonomically designed to hold the violin up without the aid of a shoulder rest, for the sole purpose of playing the instrument at the highest level. Our product can be used for the same purpose, and with the same results, by both violinists and violists.
    There are 3 lips in each box. Only one color per box.
    To order: Choose color: light brown, dark brown, black
    Choose size: low, medium, high, or choose complete set (1 of each size)
    12 Specific Advantages to Using the Chinrest Lip
    1.  The Chinrest Lip allows the performer to easily hold up the instrument without the use of a shoulder rest.
    2.  The Chinrest Lip's foam is comfortable (and hypoallergenic), yet dense enough to serve its function of not buckling under the natural weight of the head or slight downward pressure of the chin.
    3.  The Chinrest Lip in application with these forces, acts as a fulcrum to raise the scroll, and hold up the violin without even the support of the left hand.
    4.  The Chinrest Lip comes in 3 different heights for players with varied neck lengths: low, medium, and high.
    5.  The Chinrest Lip comes in 3 different colors: light brown, dark brown, and black---the colors of most chinrests.
    6.  The Chinrest Lip makes it easily manageable to shift in both upward and downward directions, completely freeing the left hand from its natural tendencies of clutching or squeezing, subsequently enhancing total freedom of movement on the fingerboard.
    7.  The Chinrest Lip helps everyone realize a full-bodied sound, because the bout (lower back edge) of the violin, will now be sitting on or just below the collarbone. This lower position of the instrument allows the player's natural arm weight to produce the healthiest most luxurious sound without pressing.
    8.  The Chinrest Lip positions the instrument so correctly on the body, that the least amount of finger, hand, and arm manipulations are required to master the multitude of different bow strokes.
    9.  The Chinrest Lip used over time will help alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pains caused by improperly holding the instrument.
    10.The Chinrest Lip is so light it is essentially weightless, in clear contrast to the burden of a much heavier and obtrusive shoulder rest.
    11. The Chinrest Lip affixes strongly to the top of any shaped chinrest, and can easily be detached by peeling the foam away with the thumb. To remove the adhesive residue left on the chinrest, take a cloth, dab it with rubbing alcohol and carefully wipe off the adhesive.
    12. The Chinrest Lip finally allow the performer to feel the violin as an integral part of the body. This proximity to the instrument heightens the sensitivity to such a degree, that one can feel the actual vibrations of the instrument while playing. As a result of this synergy, the performer attains the ultimate goal of every serious musician---to become "one with the music".
    We at The Chinrest Lip Company Ltd. sincerely believe that our product is so unique and functional, that it will dramatically help every violinist and every violist play better.
