DOLFINOS Rest Systems

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 violin 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.
