Hello, My 8 year old doughter played with a fish yesterday at the Konservatorium Georg Friedrich Händel, and she did very well. 

As your bow hold buddies are not common in Germany you might be interested to make a contact to the conservatorium in Halle-Saale and sent them information about the buddies ;-) 

Most of the younger teachers in the jury seemed to be interested, the older one did not like such modern stuff, but 100 years ago a shoulder rest was modern stuff too and now it´s common use and 200 years ago a chin rest was modern sh#% ;-) 

Best Karoline 

Response from: Claire Stefani, Things 4 Strings LLC Export Liaison:

Hello Karoline,

Thank you so much for your message and your enthusiasm for our product line.

Indeed we would be very happy to be in touch with ANY music conservatory faculty member teaching beginner students, as we are certain it would make their life easier, their teaching time more profitable, and their students happier !!

If you have any specific contact to pass on to me to secure this information, I would be happy to follow up.

It is not always easy to disseminate information within any music school, but we are quite active on social media and do have a German distributor able to service any store in the country with any of our products.

It takes determination to mold old traditions efficiently, but team work does help to make it happen.

So thank you for being in our team !!
