Why a Bow Accessory?

The cost of giving the gift of music accomplishment includes not only money, but also invaluable expenditures of effort and time.

A Things 4 Strings® patented bow accessory is a bargain that will maximize your investment on lessons and accelerate musical abilities – and ultimately the joy of playing an instrument.

Even with a best effort on the part of both student and teacher, it can take years of lessons and practice for most students to accomplish a stable and effectively relaxed bow hold.

Things 4 Strings® bow accessories work to teach beginners to hold the bow correctly without undue concern about the placement of their fingers.  Once the hand is trained the product may safely be removed from the bow. The accessory can easily be reattached if needed.

Continuing players have also found these accessories very useful for remedial work, and therapists have found many special applications for players with physical challenges in their bow hand.

"Relearning a correct bow hold after playing unknowingly with bad form for three years has been a struggle for our daughter and her private teacher.  Frustration was growing as the lessons became like treading water, with no joy or feeling of accomplishment. I stumbled across the Bow Hold Buddies through Google, and although the teacher hadn't used them before, he was game to try. What a stunning difference!  And how cool that it came with a big pencil, so she could practice before it even went on her bow.
Her first lesson with the Bow Hold Buddies ended with smiles all around, finally. Thank you -- my daughter has renewed hope that she can progress as a violinist." -- Beth, Parent
