The D'Addario Fingerboard Appliqué was developed by noted music educator Peter Stoney to help make the instrument easier to learn, play, and enjoy.

The Appliqué is also an ideal tool to easily add subtle frets to the violin, making it easier for players of fretted instruments to cross over to violin, and also expanding the instrument's flexibility of use with modern performance styles.

The Appliqué installs in just a few minutes and is easily removed when no longer needed.
