Abstract: A chin rest includes a top panel, side panel, and tailpiece strap with snap components, and together provide a surface on which a musician may place their chin while playing an instrument. The side panel includes an endpin hole designed to fit snugly over and around the endpin of an instrument to hold the chin rest to the surface of the instrument. A tailpiece strap extends from the top panel to form a loop around the tailpiece of an instrument, securing the chin rest to the instrument. A male snap connector is embedded in the end of the tailpiece strap and a female snap connector is embedded in the top panel, adjacent to the tailpiece strap. A raised, exterior border surrounds the exterior edge of the top and/or side panels, creating a negative space to provide a cradle for a musician's chin.
