Review: Quality product with fun colors! - Purchased this for my daughter and the quality of the material is soft but sturdy. I did have trouble installing this but after watching a video on YouTube it was easy. This helps teach proper bow hold and is comfortable to use. The best part is it can stay on your bow at all times as it fits securely in the violin case. The price is steep but a nice aid for any new violin student. Highly recommend.
Review: Wonderful product for string players of all ages. Still, a bit pricey. - I’m in my sixties and arthritis has made it impossible for me to hold a bow properly. My hand adjusted to the grip immediately, with a perfect balance to the bow. Personally, I would prefer that it not be shaped like a frog, I imagine it’s entertaining to children, but if people knew about this product I’d be willing to bet there would be a good market for it in the geriatric set! That said, I almost didn’t order one due to the price. I think $12-$15 would be about right. I know I would order one for each of my bows, but I can’t afford to at the current price.

## Features

- Flexes Thumb Touches Intersection of Frog and Stick: A bent yet flexible thumb is key to tone production. This accessory directs the inside corner of the thumb tip to make contact with the bow at the intersection of the frog and stick, at a 45 degree angle to the bow stick. This position, with a bent and flexible thumb, allows the player the options to exert upward pressure to the stick and/or pushing against the frog on down bows to get toward the tip of the bow.
- Supports Curved Pinky: A curved yet flexible pinky finger is critical to bow control, tone production and a relaxed bow arm overall. The pinky finger correctly approaches the stick from slightly to the rear, positioning the finger tip so the finger can remain curved and flexible without sliding off the front of the stick. This allows the player to easily move the bow to play at the frog, and to counter balance the weight of the tip of the bow while playing in the lower half of the bow.
- Positions index finger to rest on bow: A correctly positioned index finger is key to bow control and tone production. This accessory ensures the index finger's contact with the bow stick will be between the first and second knuckles. This allow the finger to control downward pressure on the bow stick, as well as the pull on the front of the stick to control the straightness of the bow stroke.
- Fingers Contact Bow in Customary Places: The empty spaces around the fingers of a correct bow hold tempt even the best beginners' fingers to wander without support. The fingers of the bow while using this patented accessory set are exactly in the same correct position as they will be when the accessory is no longer used. While the accessory set passively teaches the essential skill of the bow hold, students can proceed to learn and experience the many other skills and rewards of playing music.
- Adjustable, Universal Fit -- for child to adult hand sizes: The thumb/index finger stabilizer (designed to look like a frog) is installed on the bow and intended to remain in a fixed position, while the Hold Fish is designed to slide along the bow stick to come to rest next to the ring finger. This positions the pinky finger correctly in the Hold Fish. As long as the child or adult player is playing approximately the correctly sized bow, the resulting bow hold will be correct.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the bow hold work with fitting in a case? Does the student need a separate carrier for their bow with the device on the bow?**
A: The frog does not fit in most cases and so I often use the fish alone. However when I want to use the frog I have to problem solve for each student's violin case and routine. Even with these hassles it's a great tool.

**Q: after using this for a while, can kids do a proper bow hold without it?**
A: Yes, I usually remove the 'frog' front part after a few months and leave the 'fish' pinky holder up to a year. The frog part helps shape a rounded thumb but you still have to double check frequently that the kids are not cheating underneath. The pinky holder helps a lot with balancing the bow. For absolute beginners it makes introducing the bow much easier and it shapes the hand well for a proper bow hold - but you still have to check it frequently - it does not do the trick automatically!

**Q: Is this a true pink or more coral?**
A: It's not pink or coral at all.  It's closest to purple

**Q: Will this work for a left handed player?**
A: My son's violin teacher is left handed and he still uses his right hand to play the violin. He had to learn it that way. So I guess you can use it.

Unlike guitar, violin needs to be played with right hand especially if you plan to continue and play with orchestra.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improves bowing technique even for intermediate players
*by A***R on February 3, 2019*

I got this to help my daughter, who is an intermediate violinist who has been playing for several years, mostly in school orchestra classes where not much attention was paid to her bow hold. She tends to hold the bow angled toward her instead of away, and doesn’t extend her arm enough when she is playing in the upper half of the bow, meaning she bows all over the place, often over the fingerboard. I have been trying to help her break these habits but she is a bit resistant to suggestions and it’s certainly hard for anyone to change ingrained behaviors. I got this bow hold buddy thinking, well, it might help somewhat if her bow hold is the underlying issue, but I didn’t have high expectations for it, due to how long my daughter has already been playing. But within five minutes (after some minor complaints about it being awkward, but it really isn’t bad once you have it set up right), she was already playing with long, straight, controlled bow strokes. Amazing! Swapping back and forth with another bow gave her the feedback she needed to hold the non-buddy bow properly. I expect we will do this exercise multiple times in the future but I was surprised how effective a single 20-minute session was. One note: this seems to be a very safe device to install on a bow, but it’s not something you’ll want to install and uninstall frequently because you have to unscrew the bow pin to install it (our bow doesn’t have too many pin removals left in its lifetime). When the buddy is installed, the bow won’t fit properly in the case as the buddy is rather bulky. We are lucky to have two bows so I’ve temporarily assigned one as the buddy bow and left it out of the case, but that might not work for everyone.
