Here’s a product description you can use for your website, tailored to a historically minded, baroque-leaning audience and easily adaptable to your house style.
String King “Paddy” Violin Pad
Give your baroque or modern violin discreet, effective protection with the String King Paddy pad – a slim, elegant cushion designed to shield delicate varnish while making the instrument noticeably more comfortable to hold.
Key features
Designed for violin and viola, ideal for baroque and modern set-ups where you want protection without a bulky shoulder rest.?
Leather or eco-fabric outer options in a range of colours to complement your instrument and personal style.
2 mm neoprene-foam style padding (or equivalent soft foam) that cushions the collarbone and jaw while remaining low-profile and flexible.
Non-slip backing that grips the instrument securely without clamps, metal fittings or hard edges against the ribs.
Acts as a sweat barrier: helps prevent perspiration and skin oils from reaching the varnish, reducing long-term wear.
Easily trimmed to shape so you can tailor the pad to your preferred playing position and outline.
Washable construction (water and mild soap) so the pad stays fresh and hygienic over time.
Why players like it
For players who dislike the height and hardware of a conventional shoulder rest, the String King Paddy offers a more natural contact with the instrument while softening pressure points on the neck, jaw and collarbone. It is especially appreciated by baroque violinists, period-instrument specialists and anyone playing long sessions under hot lights or in warm venues, where sweat and abrasion can quickly take a toll on both skin and varnish.
The Paddy slips quickly into place, stays put during performance, and disappears visually from the audience’s perspective – leaving the focus on your playing and the character of your instrument rather than on accessories.
Ideal for
Baroque and modern violinists wanting minimal, historically sympathetic support
Players sensitive to contact on the neck or collarbone
Owners of valuable instruments seeking extra varnish protection without permanent fittings
Teachers recommending a gentle step between “no rest” and a full shoulder rest for pupils
