The bow is the breath of a string player. While violin bow technique may vary slightly among fine players, all agree the primary goals of the violin bow hold are lack of tension, balance and control. The good news is that the Hold Fish bow accessory can instantly position and support the pinky finger of the bow hold!

This Hold Fish pinky support, also available as part of the 2-piece Bow Hold Buddies accessory set (and also available separately) directs the tip of the pinky to slightly to the rear of the top of the stick. The sloped walls of the pinky-tip opening allow for finger flexibility. The accessory securely slides along the stick, to rest next to ring finger, allowing for a custom fit for all hand sizes, age 3 thru adult.

This accessory does not preclude normal point of contact with the stick; it simply helps keep the pinky finger from wandering out of position. With the pinky in place and in control of the stick, the hand and bow arm may have the support needed for a relaxed and effective bow hold.
