How to choose
Try different shapes if possible, since comfort varies a lot between players even on the same size instrument.
Beginner
A young player using a 1/2 size violin should have a teacher or luthier fit whichever chin rest, such as the Bakelite Chinrest 139, sits most comfortably under the jaw without straining the neck. Recheck the fit periodically as the player grows.
Intermediate
A player who has been using one shape for a while can try the Gaurneri or Schmidt models to see if a different profile improves comfort or bow arm freedom. Have a luthier adjust the fit rather than forcing the rest into place.
Expert
An experienced player fine-tuning setup will choose between these chin rest shapes based on subtle comfort and posture differences that affect long practice sessions. Check the mounting clamps periodically, since a loose chin rest can shift during playing.
