Bow Hold Buddies Concert Black

"Several of my suzuki violin students are using the bow hold buddies,
They are absolutely fabulous!
Also, one of my adult students has been using it as well, as she has arthritis,
and it's correcting her bow hold and she has an easier time holding it.
Fantastic Teaching Tool!"

My student is visually impaired, and was having some trouble mimicking my my bow hold just by feel. I saw this just as she was starting to get frustrated, purchased it, and was thrilled with the results! She can easily find the correct hand position without having to put her violin down to feel her bow, and it has made her much more confident in her bow strokes. Her tone has really improved!

my new violin and viola students love using the bow hold buddie instead of struggling with the hold week after week. it sets the hold just right, and makes my job easier!

I like the pinky guide very much. It works well even for small hands and they like the animal theme. The frog part isn't very workable for small hands, however, and bothers the student. I found it uncomfortable myself.

I love how the bow hold buddies work to form a good bow hold. The Hold Fish holds the pinky in place well, and the frog accessory is successful in repelling a collapsed thumb.
I do have two complaints about the Bow Hold Buddies: 1. The head of the frog creates a large space between the index and middle fingers, too much in my opinion, and 2. The bow cannot be placed in a case holder without taking the frog accessory off. Other than those two things, though, this is a great teaching tool!
