Ruth, 

Just a note to say that my Bow Hold Buddie® was a real friend to me in taking up the viola at age 55! 

I was really having trouble learning and steadying my bow hold without tension. 

But, in almost two years of using the elegant black version of your invention, I now am independent of it, and have a perfect bow hold that let's me do anything I'm willing to practice hard enough to do!

Sincere thanks for your great work at Things 4 Strings!
