Violin/Viola Pad PADDY by String King
 
PADDY, combining leather and padding of 2 mm neoprene foam, protects both
the varnish and body of your violin or viola from sweat and wear and tear. No
moisture can pass from your skin to the surface of the instrument - neoprene
creates an impregnable barrier.
A soft but firm foam coating makes PADDY pleasant to hold against your body
while a rubber-like surface against the instrument prevents it from slipping. An
outside, tight leather pocket feels nice against your skin, is aesthetically
pleasing (no more patches hanging and flying around) and stays firmly attached
to your instrument. The whole construction is washable in water and soap, so you
can keep your PADDY clean and fresh. The soft construction makes it easy to trim
to the desired shape so you can adjust PADDY to your own way of holding the
instrument.
PADDY comes in different types of leather and a variety of colours so you can
match it to your instrument and your practical and aesthetic preferences.
A new and revolutionary String King invention:
-
Protects your violin or viola from sweat and
wear and tear
-
Makes holding the instrument more
comfortable and less abrasive to your neck and chin

Baroque tail pieces
String
King produces several models of baroque tail pieces in different styles and
materials. We offer a new type of a tail piece inspired by
the historical research of Mr. Damian Dlugolecki. Modern violins and violas have
a slightly elevated saddle, supporting the tail gut. Baroque instruments had
much lower saddle which resulted in the acoustically less favourable angle of a
tail piece. Some preserved baroque tail pieces show that baroque instrument
makers had another way of solving this problem. If your instrument has a low
baroque-type saddle it is a tail piece for you. To find out more about this

Leather Mute
Features of this innovative leather mute include
- A unique slot and notch design that allows you to easily produce two distinctly different muting effects.
- The leather mute preserves the distinctive tonal qualities of your instrument. The player is better able to hear the ringing of the overtones under the ear, resulting in improved intonation and a superior muting quality when compared to rubber, wooden, and metal mutes.
- The mute can be custom fitted to your instrument. Moisten the two small notches with a drop of water and then place the mute back on the strings. During the drying process, the nothes will confrom to the string dimensions of your instrument. ONE SHOULD NOT DO IT ON GUT STRINGS!
