Hello Ned
There is a product called "Kling-on" made for guitarists to protect the top
from flamenco techniques. It is like a tap plate but is held in place by
static "cling" rather than a sticky and un-undoable glue. Stringsbymail.com
sells it by the sheet.
Or you could think, "Why would anyone play with his/her little finger on
the soundboard in the first place?" (To sound just like the paintings?)
