The Flesch Flat is a high center mounted chinrest favored for its comfort, especially for the smaller-framed players. Cup height at the highest point is 35, 40, 44 or 50 mm compared to the standard height which is 29 mm. The arch underneath the chinrest has been engineered to clear peaked tailpieces. They are suitable for viola with the purchase of our viola barrels upgrade.

Figaro fine fittings are made only from the best sourced materials and finished by hand by craftsmen in a family owned business. Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability.

The Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) is pure black, harvested in Sri Lanka or the Chotonagpur Plateau in India. Then it is aged to assure stability and quarter sawn before being made into the individual parts. 

The Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) is harvested in the foothills of the Himalayas. It is originally off-white and air aged to assure stability. After sectioning into quarter-sawn boards, it is carved and then stained a tasteful orange-brown.

The cork (Quercus suber) is the finest quality, fitted precisely to minimize acoustic interference and to maximize stability. The chrome fittings are all individually fitted by hand and are straight and thread easily.

The quarter sawn rosewood(Dalbergia Latifolia), is harvested in north east India. It is aged in the log for a minimum of two years. Only large logs with the straightest grain are selected for our fittings.

Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability. There are no chinrests available that are superior!
