Regis Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I have been restoring bows and am now restoring a viola and a violin. Holding it in one hand while french polishing with the other does not seem sturdy enough. Does anyone use a foam pad or 'something' on work surface to lay the violin on while polising? Or is it just safer to sit and put it on a towel on your lap? Thank you, Regis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor_Zak Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I find that a shoulder rest (eg. Kun) keeps the bottom of the violin off any hard surfaces and prevents scratches. However, that only applies when working with the top of the instrument... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
