  • the first support leg 42 is rotated to achieve this planar alignment of the support surfaces 46. This detectable rotation (inclination) is in turn achieved by the first circular arc element 60 is correspondingly unrolled on the second circular arc element 82.
  • FIG. 5 (d) is a similar situation as in FIG. 5 (b) shown here, in which case the first support leg 42, the height H 3 and the second support leg 44 has the height H 1 . So that the support surface 46 lie on a plane, the second support leg 44 is correspondingly inclined by appropriate unwinding.
  • a holding device 126 which comprises a first clamping element 128 and a second clamping element 130.
  • the first clamping element 128 is fixed to a first support leg 132 and the second clamping element is fixed to a second support leg 134.
  • a recess 136 is arranged on the support feet 132, 134, via which the respective clamping element 128 or 130 is fixed.
  • the recess 136 is provided with a thread, for example, and a pin element 138 can be screwed into the recess 136.
  • first clamping element 128 and the second clamping element 130 each have a retaining foot 140. It may be provided that the holding feet 140 of the first clamping element 128 and the second clamping element 130 are connected via a web 142. The web 142 may itself be part of the support feet 140, for example, to increase the contact surface of the musical instrument 12.
  • the pin member 138 is provided with an external thread. Further, a pin member 144, which is connected to the retaining foot 140, provided with an external thread. These two external threads are relatively opposite to each other. A connecting nut 146 is threaded onto the threads of the respective pin members 138 and 144 with opposing internal threads. It can thereby generate a clamping force to press the chin rest with the support feet 132, 134 against the body 13 of the musical instrument 12.
  • the support feet 132, 134 are formed as above.
  • a sentence 148 (cf. FIG. 4 ) provided on support feet, which have different heights H.
  • chin rest chin rest
  • the support legs 42, 44 separate components. This makes it possible to adjust the chinrest 10 variable to individual user needs. It can support feet 42, 44 are fixed with different heights H, so as to perform an ergonomic adaptation to the appropriate user. This adaptation itself is again variable, so that, for example, a "growing together" of the chinrest 10 is made possible when the physical dimensions of the musician change (in particular, a growing children can be considered).
  • a user can also easily test different positions of the chinrest 32 with respect to the musical instrument 12 without requiring a plurality of complete chin supports.
  • a user can also replace the holding device in a simple manner by, for example, changing from support feet from the set 122 to support feet from the set 148 and vice versa.
  • the chinrest 10 according to the invention can be mounted on the tailgate 24 on the tailpiece 24, in particular centrally.
