I am a violinist myself, and recently started trying to teach my 4 year old son to play. 

My biggest struggle with him was his bow hold. 

He would clutch the bow in what could only be referred to as a death grip. 

No amount of coaching, demonstrations, or even physical intervention seemed to be helping... until I ordered the bow hold buddy! 

The change was INSTANT! 

I was amazed at how fast his white knuckled fist turned into a perfect, RELAXED bow hold! Within minutes he was picking up the bow himself, with all fingers placed perfectly. 

My only regret is that there isn't a 'bow arm buddy' or a 'fingerboard buddy' ... lol. 

Fantastic product! 

Thank you, thank you!
