I purchased your bow hold buddies at the national ASTA 2010 convention in California and have been trying them out on my students in my 5th grade string class. 

They all want to use them and we take turns each day. 

I've noticed immediate results with some of the kids that had very strange bow holds before and are feeling the proper way to hold the bow now after just a few times.

It's truly amazing and I think you are going to revolutionize string teaching! I wish each child would get one with their instrument when they rent their instrument for the first time.

It would save so much time, which can be used to learn the other aspects of playing, not to have to constantly correct the hold. I play in an adult orchestra with many teachers.

I brought the bow buddies last night (on the bows) and passed them around and everyone was so taken with them...!

Word will spread quickly with such a valuable and fun invention!

Thank you!
