Maximum Comfort and Adjustability for Violinists

The Carbon+ violin shoulder rest and chinrest is a Swiss made solution for players who want maximum comfort and a precise, adjustable fit. Built with high performance carbon, it stays light while offering a stable and dependable connection to the instrument. You can adjust height, tilt and lateral position accurately, so the violin aligns with your natural posture instead of forcing your body to adapt. This reduces tension in the neck and shoulders and keeps your setup comfortable during long rehearsals or performances. Designed as a modern alternative to traditional shoulder rests, the Carbon+ supports better posture, more control and a setup you can rely on every day.

DOLFINOS Rest System

Feather-light carbon or aluminium frame with soft EPDM or memory foam cushions adapts perfectly to your body. The split-cushion design relieves pressure and keeps you comfortable through long playing sessions.

Every element is customizable : chinrest shape, cushion height, adapter size, and angle. Whether carbon or aluminium, each setup can be tuned precisely to fit your anatomy and playing style.

A patented adapter replaces old clamping systems, holding the chinrest and shoulder rest securely without pressure points. It keeps everything stable while applying minimal force, protecting your instrument from damage or stress that could reduce the value of your precious instrument.

The design reduces contact area and interference, allowing the body to vibrate freely, while the cushions provide controlled damping to prevent harsh over-resonance or unwanted artifacts.
