Things 4 Strings Bow Hold Fish

The Bow Hold Fish for violin, viola and cello is a teaching aid that will help guide the player’s pinky into the correct position on the bow.

If you are having trouble forming a nice rounded and relaxed pinky, then this is the perfect violin teaching aid for you. Once installed on your bow, the clever fish shaped device will train the pinky into a beautifully rounded position, encouraging muscle memory and freeing the player to learn and enjoy other elements of string playing.

We recommend using the teaching aid two weeks on and two weeks off repetitively until you see improvement, so that the player does not become completely reliant on the aid. Please see the video below on how to install the Hold Fish correctly.
