the custom process
Not your average "custom" chin rest. This is your exact jawline carved into flamed maple and married to the only fully adjustable chin rest. The combination is surreal.
I
First we send you a kit designed to hold impression foam. You make two impressions of your jawline and send the kit back to us.
II
We use a 3D scanner to obtain a 3-dimensional computer model of your jaw-line impression. The accuracy of our scanner is approximately 1/10th the size of a grain of salt. Did we mention this is not your average "custom" chin rest?
III
Next we spend hours moving your impression through a series of advanced computer modeling processes. We end up with a perfect 3D model negative of your jawline. Other elements of the shape are optimized for violin & viola playing by an actual violinist.
IV
Then we carve your custom chin rest in a piece of fine flamed maple using a high precision 4-axis CNC machine. We use maple 1) because it's one of the safest woods for skin contact (unlike ebony and rosewood, which are infused with irritating chemicals), and 2) because violins and violas are made primarily from flamed maple.
V
Lastly we hand sand and apply the skin-safe lustrous finish. Offered in three colors: charred, rose, & gold. We'll keep your 3D model on file for any future kréddle|custom orders at a significant discount with code: CUSTOM2.
"Over almost 18 years of playing, I had always been struggling with neck and back pains that were a result of bad posture. Kreddle was by far the most valuable investment in my health and quality of performance. It provides gentle support so that my neck does not bend forward and I feel more comfortable and balanced when playing. I have been recommending Kreddle to my friends and students and wish I had found out about it earlier in my performing career. Thank you so much!"

"It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most important innovation since the invention of the chin rest itself! Not only does it immediately reduce tension by forming to your body's natural shape, but it makes the instrument sound better due to the high quality, light material and minimal contact with the actual instrument. Now excuse me everybody while I go practice comfortably for the first time in...ever."

"Thank you for your amazing chinrest. I think it's saved my career! A few months ago, I was diagnosed with a neurological condition that, among other things, sends electric shocks down my spine when I tilt my head down (as one must to hold the violin). I really thought my career was over since I couldn't play my instrument without intense pain. Kréddle alleviates that entirely. It's amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone with neck problems, or anyone who wants to prevent neck problems. I'm so grateful for your product because I really thought my performing and teaching days were through a couple months ago. Thank you!"

"Dear Jordan and team, Keep being awesome! These chinrests have made me so happy that I am purchasing three more!! I had carpal tunnel surgery in December after suffering for nine years. After adjusting my kréddle, I played for an hour with no pain in either my neck or wrist! My husband and kids came out to see who was playing."
Sara
"I just wanted to send a quick thank you. As someone with a long neck and unsatisfied with shoulder rests, this has been perfect. My tone and posture have improved dramatically. Thank you for such a wonderful product."
Audrey
"I have been playing violin for over 30 years. For decades I have played through pain and spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the "perfect" setup. Then a few years ago I found Kreddle. It was a game changer. With near-infinite positional possibilities, I fiddled endlessly, trying to find the perfect fit. I have finally settled on the bare chin rest (no cap) but in reverse. This removes tension from my neck and allows me to be much more free and relaxed in my playing. I wish I had this 30 years ago! It's so good that I've now purchased it for every violin I own so that I am never in a place of tension again. Thank you Kreddle!"
