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:
String Stretcher – S – T – R – E – T – C – H – Y – by String King
String stretcher is an original String King invention. It was created by a baroque violinst for baroque violinists (and other players using thin gut strings). With its help you can pre-stretch your violin’s e and a strings. Every time you need to change the string, even at home, you can use a pre-stretched string and play almost immediately in tune.
String stretcher is small enough so you can put it in your instrument case. It is supplied with a handle for speedy winding and a piece of velcro tape for easy fitting in your instrument case.
– S – T – R – E – T – C – H – Y – just in a case!

String Oil Pads – OILY by String King
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.

Leather Mute
Features of this innovative leather mute include
Humidity stabilizer STRETTO
The world's newest humidifier-system protects your instrument in all weather conditions!
STRETTO is a humidifier to use in your instrument case.
It gives 50-60% humidity for 2-3 weeks in your case.
From personal experience as a professional musician, I am keenly aware of the necessity of maintaining the optimal humidity for a String Instrument. We must protect our fine Instruments and bows from changes in humidity, be it when travelling, making the trip from home to concert hall, or simply adapting to changes in the weather and season.
It is specially important for players using gut strings and historical bows with clip-in-frog. Stretto will prolong life of your strings and will save you seasonal troubles with wound strings (a gut core shrinking and swelling). It will prevent dramatic changes in the tension of your bow.
STRETTO prevents your instrument from cracking and opening.
STRETTO helps maintaining an equal sound quality of your instrument and bow.
STRETTO is available for Violin, Viola and Cello. It works, of course, for other string instruments of similar size.
