A violin is stabilized by mild weight from the head. The chin length of a player adjusts according to their length.

The space between the players shoulder and the kits back is fitted with a pad. This pad provides friction preventing a violin from slipping off the shoulder. As the collarbone remains constant the support changes from left hand shoulder and the jaw.

Fixing the pad carefully and resting the shoulder and chin appropriately, makes holding of this equipment to be much easier. The jaw is offered a suitable place by the chin and changes amid the collarbone and chin. The purpose of chin rest is to protect the varnish provide a secure and comfortable place for the hand to adjust the distance from the jaw to collarbone. The chin and the jaw establish two points which are unchanging to the kit. For luxury and to protect the collar-bone place a cloth that is not slippery on it.

For thinner shoulders use a thicker pad for comfort. When shifting locations free left hand certain duties. Ensure always that the violin rests on the collar bone with varying degree of support from the shoulder pad and the left hand. While the collar bone remains constant and how stable it should be is determined by three points during active shift. The function of various parts varies greatly when playing .
