Which two instruments have chin rests and are played by tucking them between your chin and shoulder?

Explanation

The violin and the viola are both string instruments that are played by tucking them between the chin and shoulder. They both have chin rests to provide support and stability while playing. The cello and the bass, on the other hand, are played by sitting down and resting them on the floor or a stand, so they do not require chin rests.
