Description

Height adjustable lower pad with silicone pad.

Some repairs as soundpost patch, opened seam and crack repair must be done on the back plate over the ribs. Clamping the cleats and patches is then, due to the rib height quite a tricky task. Using these over the rib steel clamps is an option for accurate and deliberate executing of these tasks. The lower pad with silicone cover can be used in direct contact with the varnished surface of the repaired plate without risk of harming the delicate surface. A short opening ensures a precise focused clamping action, although the clamp is drawn over the ribs. Different depths ensure the clamp can reach always exactly any wanted spot on the back of the cello resp. bass.

Herdim^® Repair Clamps

Made in Europe

These clamps feature all requirements for repair clamps used on fine and fragile structures:
High stiffness versus low weight - especially of the clamps with large jaw openings. These two contradictory requirements are nicely combined with this Herdim achievement. Unique strutted design fulfills these requirements the best.
The movable parts use the traditional movable brass plate and a precise brass spindle with knurled handle. The lower pad including the special silicone pad to protect the varnish surfaces is adjustable in height and thus enhances the scope of application. The brass plate feature an optional self-adhesive rubber cork padding (available as accessory, No. 735650-735652).
