This is the only chin rest I personally like and all of my students prefer it as well. No metal to bother their skin, the height isn’t too bad and it’s softer plastic than the hard wooden ones. They hold up well over time as well. We have been using these for years now.

A Purchase That Taught Me Something

Easy to read and ust -- Also, very accurate as to pitch -- I learned that the one I was using before was not calibrated correctly.

There’s a reason the great pros use this string

This has been my go to E-string for decades. It appears to last long, has that nice bright color most others don’t (I’ve tried most). Stays true even in the nether positions.

A perfect solution for baroque bows

This is the answer a problem that many players have when using baroque bows. Many models have plain round sticks making holding the bow not without issues because of the wood being slippery, resulting in a possible firmer grip than desired.

Strong upgrade from a quality vendor

There are some items where it's very important to ensure you get precisely what you're looking for. Strings fall into that category. I was pleased by the information and variety of options JSI had on their site and confident to buy from them. Once the strings arrived--in sturdy packaging--I got them onto my instrument and started breaking them in. So far, I'm VERY pleased with how these strings sound. Describing specific qualities of sound with words is difficult, but I feel like these work really well with my instrument and I'm happy with the upgrade. Also, even after about a week under tension, they're still holding really well and have only needed minor adjustments.

Easy to find what I was looking for and I LOVE that you emailed my shopping cart to me. I haven't seen that feature before! It's so much better than having to try and remember everything and start over again. Shipping went well enough--it was my fault that I needed an expedited delivery and they made it happen! I was surprised by how difficult it was to find what seemed to be a reliable source for strings and then very happy to have found one!

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
