Strad Pad Original Beige Chinrest Pad: Standard Size

I need a new pad as the last one lasted many years, but I just felt it was time to get a new one. This works well and I find it to be comfortable.

I love these things! This is the third one I've bought. Originally had one for like 10 years. Replaced it, had it for another 10 years. Bought a new violin and bought a new one. Prevents the dreaded violin hickey. And it's so comfortable! When i play other violins without a Strad Pad I'm always thrown off by how hard and angular the chin rests are. Buy it. It's awesome.

The product works as intended, it’s soft, however I wish it was a touch longer so it protected the neck a little more. But the backing on the Velcro was impossible to get off. We never did get it all- it tore apart leaving part on the sticky side, so it doesn't adhere fully to the chin rest. For the cost, that should not happen. It makes me wonder how old they are.

Comfy and easy to apply.

Excellent product! Prevents the edge of the chinrest from digging into my jaw. I like the way this pad wraps over the edge of the chinrest and the violin. It is quite a bit more comfortable than the gel pad type which leaves the edge of the chinrest exposed.

My daughter has always suffered from neck pains after practicing long hours on the violin. The pad doesn’t get hot, and feels like a big pillow on her neck. It doesn’t even feel like you wear, it’s super comfortable. The setup was a bit challenging to find the right spot, but after that, it was heaven for her.

It is VERY comfortable to use this.What I disliked is how you have to attach it to your chin rest. Although you can remove it, I see it as impossible to reattach it back. I wish that there was nothing else than a just plain rubber, but there's an annoying sticky inside.

I really like using this. I always felt like my chin rest was digging into my neck. The strad pad is soft and slightly cushioned. It sticks to the chin rest and covers most of the hardware on the bottom of the violin. The tan color is fine - I would use it for a performance. Yes, it is expensive, but I've learned over the years that trying to cut costs in this hobby costs more in the long run.
