BERDANI Center Model Violin Chinrest – a central chin support
The BERDANI Center Model is a centrally mounted violin chinrest with the chin support positioned over the tailpiece. Handcrafted by master violin maker Daniel Hiller, it comes in two heights and five materials to suit your preferred playing position and the fittings of your instrument.
Choose a 23 mm or 26 mm chinrest height
This model is designed for violinists who prefer to place their chin centrally above the tailpiece. The shaped cup has a raised centre and recessed areas on either side. Choose the standard 23 mm height or the taller 26 mm version. The right height depends on your anatomy, shoulder rest and individual playing posture.
Five materials
Choose Boxwood, Dark Boxwood, Ebony, English Boxwood or Dark Paper. The wood options have distinct colours and grain patterns. Dark Paper is a dense paper-and-resin composite with an even, dark surface. The product photographs show each material from several angles and mounted on a violin. Each wooden piece has its own individual grain.

Finish and fitting
The wooden surfaces are finely sanded and polished with pure linseed oil. Cork pads protect the varnish at the contact points when the chinrest is fitted correctly. The chinrest must sit securely and have sufficient clearance from the tailpiece so that the two parts do not touch. A violin maker can fit and adjust it to your instrument.

Endbutton Violin|Viola BERDANI designs end buttons for string instruments, which are simple and traditional in their form. They are well-formed and turned as short as possible so that it is pleasant for the musician and he feels only a minimal feeling of pressure at the neck. In addition, the button is half or fully recessed to prevent clothing from getting caught. The surface is finely sanded and polished with linseed oil. The designs The models: • head with one heel without button • head with one heel with button • head with several heels without button • head with several heels with button Wood species: • Berdani´s Dark Paper (Ebony replacement) • boxwood dark (rosewood substitute) • ebony • boxwood Stalk thickness: • weak Ø 8,30mm • strong Ø 9,00mm Berdani´s Dark Paper Sustainable, environmentally friendly and innovative An alternative for ebony Our idea: We wanted to find a material that is equal to ebony in appearance, weight and sound, but can be produced sustainably. We succeeded. The result is Berdani's Dark Paper, a composite of recycled paper and resin. Production: To produce the high-quality dark paper, recycled paper is impregnated with a warm resin, layered by hand and pressed under high pressure. Look: The finished product looks like the finest ebony. It has a black colour throughout and the same hardness and density as ebony. Berdani's Dark Paper is also heat and dirt repellent and resistant to moisture and sweat. Since the material is made from purely natural components, it is 100% ecologically degradable. Berdani's Dark Paper is also non-toxic and does not shrink or swell. Processing / Use: The composite can be processed immediately and without long storage times. The material can be processed with conventional violin making tools; it can be planed, filed and sanded. Boxwood light and dark We have developed a process to color the box tree in a natural way. Our boxwood is completely stained without stains or alkalis, such as saltpetre or ammonia. Only pure linseed oil and canauba wax is used for surface treatment. The violin maker only has to oil the pegs, chinrests and tailpieces, no pickling or caustic solutions are necessary. We offer the boxwood in two colours. Boxwood light looks like conventionally dyed boxwood. Dark boxwood can serve as a substitute for rosewood. Ebony The ebony has been carefully matured for years and is sorted by weight and sound. It is finely sanded with linseed oil and canauba wax is polished. - Endbutton Violin|Viola -
