- 4/4 Guarneri with matching GelRest
I created GelRest Chinrest Covers because I wanted a convenient, yet good-looking way to make my violin chinrest comfortable. I thought to myself, I don’t even prefer to SIT on a block of hard wood, so why would I want to rest my face on one?
So, take a close look at the photo.
You are seeing something revolutionary in the violin world – a chinrest cover that’s molded in the same shape as the chinrest, so that it blends in and maintains the sophisticated, elegant, and timeless look of one of the most incredible instruments ever invented. An instrument that, though invented over 500 years ago, today is played in every country in the world, in every musical style imaginable.

OK, so what do you mean by Gel, you may ask. Well, it’s not a liquid gel. That could get messy! No, it’s a firm, solid gel, but with a feel very much like the softest, smoothest human skin. When you put your face down on this material you’ll understand why we say, “you’ll wonder how you EVER played without it.”
