Pirastro has officially unveiled the KorfkerSpring, a revolutionary advancement in ergonomic violin accessories. This premium chin rest system is engineered to solve two critical issues for professional musicians: eliminating upper-body tension and minimizing acoustic damping.
Unlike traditional static fittings, the PIRASTRO KorfkerSpring features a patented flexible spring mechanism. This dynamic design creates a responsive connection between player and instrument, promoting natural movement to actively release neck and shoulder tension for superior playing posture.
Unmatched Ergonomics and 3D Adjustability
For musicians seeking a custom-fit chin rest, the KorfkerSpring offers a fully 3D adjustable architecture. Players can fine-tune the tilt, rotation, and position to match their unique physiology.
To accommodate varying neck lengths and setup preferences, the system includes six interchangeable springs. These allow for precise chin rest height adjustment ranging from 25mm to 50mm (in 5mm increments), making it one of the most versatile high-end violin accessories on the market.
Tone-Optimized Materials for Acoustic Fidelity
Crafted from hardened Swiss maple, the chin plate is designed for sonic excellence. By utilizing high-tech, tone-optimized materials and restricting the total weight to a mere 15 grams, the KorfkerSpring is the world’s lightest chin rest. This ultra-lightweight construction drastically reduces instrument mass dampening, preserving the violin’s natural acoustic fidelity, dynamic range, and sound projection.
Availability The PIRASTRO KorfkerSpring will be available from Paytons in late 2025. View the product page here.
