A pharaoh's mask in miniature, sitting at the bottom of your strings — part talisman, part vibration dampener, all conversation starter on changeovers.

Soft silicone, installs in about three seconds between the bottom two mains. Quiets the ping the strings make on every contact. Comes as a 2-pack so a partner can match.

Good for:

• A history- or mythology-loving player
• A kid who's into Egypt, mummies, or the King Tut exhibit
• A stocking stuffer that pairs with a fresh string job
