Shammy for Nickel Allergies – protects your neck from nickel chinrest fittings.
This is the only place where you will find shammys for those with nickel allergies. I have seen so many home-made solutions, rags thrown over violins, unattached shammys that have to be constantly repositioned, all of which take away from the experience of playing a beautiful instrument. Now you can protect yourself discreetly and without fuss with these shammys which I designed to stay attached to your instrument.
- Comes in a regular light-weight version for those who don’t want to feel anything between their neck and their instrument, and an extra-soft version that is thicker.
