I forgot to share! My Holstein Freedom Chinrest arrived a couple of weeks ago. So I have had the opportunity to really get to try it out and see how it feels.

I LOVE this chinrest!  As @Mouse mentioned above, it really does open up the sound from my violin, and I thought it would take me some time to get used to how it looks, but I seriously can't see why anyone would want to cover up more of their beautiful violins with huge chinrests.

Thank you @Fiddlerman for an amazing product, and even more amazing service.  I love the gold brackets, they really look great with the other gold accents on my violin.
