Why Embrace Strings?
The fully adjustable, tool-less chinrest for violin and violists.
-
Embrace Strings chinrests are fully adjustable in both height and tilt, so your setup adapts to you—not the other way around. From day to day changes in posture, a suit jacket, or simply how you’re feeling that day, the chinrest adjusts effortlessly to keep your posture natural.
-
Adjustments can be made quickly and easily, without the need for tools. Whether during rehearsal, a lesson, a performance, or simply as you fine-tune your setup over time, you can explore what feels best, respond to changes in your playing, and stay comfortable without frustration or guesswork.
-
By allowing the chinrest to adapt to you, Embrace Strings supports a more natural playing position. This can help reduce unnecessary tension and encourage freedom of movement, so comfort doesn’t come at the expense of expression.
-
Each Embrace Strings chinrest is carefully made in the United States, combining precision craftsmanship with durable materials. Every detail is designed to ensure comfort, reliability, and a premier playing experience.
