A string dampener changes the sound and perceived feel of the stringbed; it does not prevent injury or replace suitable technique, strings or frame selection. Fit only below the lowest cross string so it cannot enter the hitting area. This list separates exact models and stated pack counts—colors or player-logo versions are not treated as different products.

Buying tips
- Install a dampener below the lowest cross string and replace it if it cracks or keeps falling out.
- Use one model for several sessions before deciding whether its feel suits you; switching colors is not a meaningful comparison.
- For recurring arm pain, seek qualified coaching or clinical advice rather than relying on a dampener.
