Hold Fish® for Violin / Viola (Currently available in 5 colors)

Used this initially with my 3 year old son with the beginner bow hold (thumb on slide), and now brought it back into action since he transitioned to the regular hold. He thinks everyone learning the violin should get one!

I am so happy this is now sold separately! It is an amazing tool.

I bought this for my eight year old, who has finished his first year of Suzuki violin lessons. His teacher had one that she let him borrow during lessons, but I found that he struggled with applying the correct pinky position at home during practice. The fun fish on his bow has completely resolved any problems with his hold at home and during lessons.

These were recommended for kids by the violin teacher. She says they really help so the kids can develop stronger hand grips on the bow.

This is brilliant and all my students are greatly benefiting from owning these.

When my son plays the violin, his pinky somethtimed straighten instead of curl up, and this is the perfect answer to retrain that one finger.

I have a problem with my pinky where the muscles tends to snap between positions and none of them are the one I need for holding a violin bow. My problem was more a matter of not being able to physically form my finger into the right position than needing something to show me what that position was.

This little fish has been a miracle worker. I don't get cramps from forcing my hand into positions it just can't maintain so I'm able to practice longer (and more correctly).

Discrete and very efficient > corrected my son's ever wrong little finger position on his violin bow after 2 months of wearing it. Great and thanks for a color that was not loud.

Got this for my daughter's 1/2 violin. It is easily installed and has helped my daughter greatly with positioning her pinky and getting a more comfortable bow grip. This is our second one because when my daughter broke her first bow, she forgot to take this thing off and it got thrown away but it's been so instrumental (pun intended) in helping her learn to play, we bought a second one.

"
Even though these may be marketed to younger violinists just learning to play. I am an ""adult"" beginner and it has helped me tremendously with my bow hold!"

Finally... my pinky can rest!

Great for my little violin students—immediately improves bowhold.
