Assembly Clamps

Model/Price

Violin clamps shown.
Herdim Assembly Clamp Set, Violin, 32 pieces
Highly recommended!

These are the ultimate violin assembly clamps. They are made from semi-soft plastic, and work like a charm, placing the pressure directly above the rib and lining - unlike regular spool clamps.

"Polyurethane clamping pads with brass-reinforced bushings. Galvanized steel spindles with brass thumbscrews with very positive threads for easy adjustments."

One set includes: 20 blue, 8 red, 4 yellow. Opening 30-60mm.
#8D-9600
C$455.00

Order
Herdim Assembly Clamp Set, Cello, 42 pieces

Similar design to above, but made to suit the requirements of cellos. "The fiber-reinforced plastic clamping pads yield a lightweight yet nevertheless very sturdy clamp. The pads have additional flexible polyurethane inserts to prevent marring of the surface of the wood and varnish coat. The spindle is partially encased in silicon to protect the edges of the instrument. Also well-suited for assembling and restoring guitars.

One set includes: 28 blue, 8 red, 6 yellow. Opining 60-160mm.
