Silicone Pads (double set)

The Poldauer silicone pad is the ultimate pad that fixes itself to all possible surfaces, even if the varnish is not very smooth or regular. The Poldauer shoulder rest's suction sup attaches itself relaibly to the silicone. Silicone is a totally inert material, that does not react with the varnish. The 1mm thick round foil with a diammter of 6 cm needs to be cleaned with water before use and is attached with a very slight touch of remainig moisture to the Instrument where is can be left.

When do I need the silicone pad?

Das silicone pad is ideal for you, if

(1) the varnish is very old and slightly uneven;

(2) if you would like to regularly remove the foil or change the positioning of the rest

(3) if you prefer the inert and pure silicone to the (solvent-free) plastic TPU foil

(4) the milky look on your vioin does not disturb you

The TPU foil that automatically comes with the Poldauer rest is perfectly adequate

(1) if the varnish is in a good/ok condition

(2) if the instrument's back is not too bent

(3) you do not want to remove the foil, i.e. change the placement of the poldauer rest, but you have some flexibility due to its size

(4) if you want the foil not to be visible.
