will engage with the bottom of a violin D to support the chin rest pad A on the violin D firmly whereas the adjusting devices C are able to move upward or downward thereat.
However, the conventional chin rest can only be adjusted the height and not the angle, thus a user's chin can only touch a portion of the rest pad A, which causes uncomfortable.
