Tear off the little black cones. (The proof that they come from fresh production.)
Wetten then DOLFINOS Grip Pad and rub the flat side of the DOLFINOS Grip Pad with a soft sponge and a mild soap.
Rinse the Grip Pad with clean water.
Repeat Step Nr. 3 and use some of the foam to wash also the other side of the Grip Pad (the micro lamella-side) without rubbing them.
Repeat Step Nr. 4
Rinse the Grip Pad, shake the water off and wipe it off with a clean micro fibre cloth.
Hang it on the hole of the Pad until it is completely dry. (You can use a pencil which you stick inside the hole, lay the pencil on the edge of a table and let the Pad hang in the air. To fix it in place put a heavy book on the pencil.)

Make sure the back of your instrument is dry and polished with a suitable cloth and varnish cleaner before mounting the Grip Pad.. (We recommend to use professional equipment, either from DOLFINOS or from another reliable brand.)
If your violin was recently varnished or you are in doubt about its condition please consult your luthier first.
Place the cleaned flat side of the Pad on the back of your instrument. The hole in the Pad normally looks towards the player.
Flatten the Pad and press it gently down to the back of your instrument.
To find the best playing position, the Grip Pad can be removed and replaced easily. Make sure the Lamellas act perpendicular to the direction where the instrument normally slips away during your performing.
Once the Grip Pad and the back of the instrument are smooth and free of dust, the Van der Waals Force will keep the Grip Pad in place without any residue or glue in between.

In case the back of your instrument has a rather rough surface which may result in a less strong Van der Waals Force, you can order a special micro suction sheet to put in between the instrument and the Grip Pad.
The effect of the Grip Pad is not only a better hold whilst playing it is also protective to the normal abrasive impact of playing without a shoulderrest.
For replacing make sure to carefully and slowly remove the Grip Pad.
If you want to clean the Grip Pad Micro Lamella side from dust. You can either use a soft tooth brush or remove it, wash it as described and use the tooth brush and the soap foam to clean it perfectly.
Never forget to rinse it with clean plain water and dry it before reattaching it on your instrument. Brush always in line with the lamellas.
