Here is a tail view of my new setup.
A top view – this is my makeshift chin rest until I receive the Wender I ordered. The shoulder rest is perfect, but I needed a bit more of a hump on the Stuber I had, so I took some wire and put them through some tubing then slid them through the circular part of a pen that I cut for the purpose. It is fantastic (at least for now)!
I use this rubber gripper on my scroll for practicing against a wall. This helps right hand and left hand exercises immensely, even though I do have a near-perfect setup.
My “new” bow – actually all I did was take the end of some rubber tubing and slide it up the stick to support my higher bow hand position.
Here is the alternate bow grip I now use that allows me to play to the tip with ease (the frog was cumbersome at first, but now is just as easy as before).
The way my instrument looks when up – high and centered finally! I think my chin is a bit too far to the middle than where I normally am, but I was taking these pictures fast with the help of Benj.
An underside view of the shoulder rest. From this angle, you can see how low the shoulder rest is in relation to the body of the violin, much different than before. Also, notice the white fuzz where I glued one piece back onto the frame after it broke off (I twisted it around quite a bit to get just what I wanted). This is from the rope tied around it to hold it together while the glue dried (it looked like a cast on a broken arm). The foam helps support the end of the segment and provides cushion.
