Your links are on my website. :-)

"I was at the ASTA National Conference in Kentucky last week and I bought one of your Deluxe Teacher Kits from your display booth.

It was the only one you had and it was used to prop up the other kit that you were using.

When I returned to school this past week, I tried the Bow Buddies on my HS students' bows to try and break their bad habits.

It was amazing how my HS students took to using your frogs and elephants. I am buying more to help more of my students.

Some even agreed to sign them out for a week to practice at home with.

They loved how comfortable the Buddies were and helped them to relax their holds.

I love it because there is so much less explaining and moving of fingers that I have to do with my students.

Less time wasted and more time instructing...perfect! AND the students are learning the correct way to hold their bow after so many years of bad habits developing."

They really do work for my beginning violin students! "

"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! "

I can't tell you enough how handy the bow buddies are in beginning strings!!

I had a few of my students use Things 4 Strings bow accessories during Texas UIL contest and sight-reading.
It was our first UIL contest ever, and we won the highest honors sweepstakes - all Ones!
The judges' written comments included compliments on great bow holds!

"Thanks for your work in string teaching, but in particular your bow hold invention.

What a creative way to develop muscle memory for the bow hold! "
