Violinist in Balance is a collective of experts and technicians dedicated to education and equipment development to improve the comfort and technical proficiency of violin and viola playing. Our efforts began with the educational research project Violinist in Balance conducted at Utrecht Conservatory. The research combined re-training of cramped playing habits with building of custom made chin rests and shoulder rests to improve playing technique and comfort. After the research, it became clear that a wider public wished to benefit from the findings.

Our clients include violinists and violists from many major orchestras, including Amsterdam's Concertgebouw Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Gelderse Orchestra, London Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, etc.

We are currently involved with a program for children at the Oundle school in England to develop both educational and equipment programs and to ensure yearly fittings for their 75 music scholars between the ages of 11 and 18.

The Violinist in Balance team gives consultations and presentations. Our team of technicians build custom made chin rests and shoulder rests. We also develop new equipment, such as the Equilibrio Chin Rest Series expected to be released by Wolf Products in 2012.
