  • 1x Chinrest
  • 1x Adapter
  • 1x Tool

The DOLFINOS Violin Rest System is a Swiss Made product developed with leading scientific institutions and includes various ground-breaking innovations. The key innovation is that the standard shoulder rest is split into two cushions. Each cushion can move independently which enables a maximum fit for each body geometry. Every Limited AIR Edition Rest System is made individually and individually numbered. 

The Limited Air Edition for violin includes a shoulder rest made of bendable Aircraft Aluminium, an adapter, and a chin rest. For more detailed information about the product and the exclusive warranty and service package, find the factsheet here

The violin adapter opens up to a height of 47 mm and closes to 37 mm. If your violin is particularly small, please order the Limited AIR Edition with a small violin adapter (34-44mm). To ensure that you buy the proper adapter size, please measure the width of your violin from the top plate to the bottom plate (see picture) and choose the right size accordingly.

The shoulder rest is designed for violin players and is 172 mm long. The shoulder rest and the slider plates of the Limited Air Edition are made of Aircraft Aluminium and can therefore be postmanufactured (additional bending of the curved wings and the plates). Please follow the user’s manual instructions or ask for help from the DOLFINOS service team. If the user wishes to put the clavicula slider parallel to the clavicle this can be either achieved by bending the curved slider or ordering an additional flat one.

The standard cushions of the Limited Air Edition are made of a high-end memory foam material for which we won the German FSK Innovation Prize. This material is extremely responsive and durable.  

The chinrest of your choice is made of European FSC certified wood. You can choose between four different shapes and two colours (black or brown). Two of our chinrests come with various heights (high or low).

VIENNA is created with a universal design that works for most violin and viola players. Height of chinrest, minimum - maximum extension: 24mm – 34mm.
 
BERLIN has a broader lip which offers an extra hold, therefore often chosen by violists. Height of chin rest, minimum - maximum extension: 25mm – 35mm.
BERLIN LOW: Height of chinrest, minimum - maximum extension: 20mm – 30mm.
 
VENEZIA is lower in height and is recommended for players with shorter necks. Height of chinrest, minimum - maximum extension: 13mm–23mm.
 
LISBON works especially well for extreme left to middle playing positions and shorter necks. Gives an extra hold over the tailpiece. Height of chinrest, minimum - maximum extension: 15mm – 25mm.

In addition to this wooden collection, we also offer the TOLEDO chinrest, which is made of antistatic black ABS. It is our full injection molded universal chinrest. We have designed it after our most popular model, the wooden VIENNA. In this new design, we have included all the user feedback from around the world to make it maybe the most universal chin rest we now offer. You can choose between either TOLEDO High (for longer necks, 24-34mm) or TOLEDO Low (for shorter necks, 19-29mm).

All our chinrests come along with the highest grade of nonallergic med-tech Titanium Rods (Grade 5 Titanium which is also used for implants)

After playing the Dolfinos System shoulder rest for more than a month I cannot imagine going back. I have found a positioning that equalizes and balances the anchor points while allowing for more shoulder mobility. Additionally, the sound is even more open and responsive than playing without a shoulder rest!

My investment in a DOLFINOS already paid off many times!

Gregory Maytan

1st Concertmaster, Anhaltische Philharmonie, Dessau

My motivation is a rest system which doesn’t kill sound. For years I played without a rest for that reason, but I have a very long neck and it eventually became untenable for my body. I tried several rests and eventually chose the DOLFINOS because the sound I get with it is far and away bigger and better than with any other system.

Penny Wayne-Shapiro

When I had my Carnegie Hall debut, the DOLFINOS Rest System really made a huge difference in sound, comfort and reliability.

Alma Deutscher

Austria

Why I chose DOLFINOS: 1) No more pressure points on collarbone, 2) the instrument can vibrate completely freely, nothing disturbs the sound, which becomes bigger and freer

Lukas Hufnagl

Austria

After an operation of the left shoulder, a painful nerve disorder in my fingertips developed. Especially after long rehearsals and performances I struggled with severe problems. After a few weeks of using the DOLFINOS system, these limitations have completely disappeared and my entire posture has straightened up.
