Chinrest designs by Alexander Accessories

Mushroom for the violin

The Mushroom is a very popular over the tailpiece design but has a lower, gentler curvature than the Alexander. It is available in a violin or viola version but since it is a compact little chinrest, a lot of viola players use the violin version.

Polka for the violin

This is our version of the chinrest design used by Tibor Varga. It is similar, but slightly higher than a Guarnerius. It is available in a violin or viola version.

Raquel Continental for the violin

The Raquel design was conceived because there was a demand for an elongated High Teka. Originally it was made in the Old English format only. The Continental and Old English styles are very similar but the two formats are aesthetically very different and the subtle differences which are quite distinctive to players are highlighted by the photographs.

Low Raquel Continental for the violin

There was a demand for a slightly lower version of the Raquel so we made it 3 mm lower and called it the Low Raquel. It is available in all the formats of the Raquel.
