a good idea

It helps to position my fingers correctly on the bow

It’s very difficult for kids as well as adults to learn how to hold the bow of the 🎻 properly. This aid helps in doing just that. Very very useful for the beginner.

My daughter has been doing violin lessons for 2 years and her bow hold was never good enough for her teacher. Now she has her hand in the correct shape without focussing on it- she can just concentrate on playing. I wish we'd bought it at the beginning.

It helped me bunches with my bow hand would highly recommend it

My daughter had trouble remembering to hold the bow right, so I bought this gadget. It worked well to help her, but very short term. We also bought a new bow because her old one cracked at the screw from trying to tighten the hair too much (hair was too long and just couldn't make the bow right). The way the plastic piece of a bow frog is attached matters. The opening for the thumb wasn't right and was giving my daughter a blister on her thumb. The old bow was smoother in the spot where this gadget frog goes and worked better. So we ended up fixing the old bow just so my daughter can use this set. Another drawback is that once the frog and fish is on, the bow didn't fit in our violin case anymore! So in a way, it turned out well that our bow cracked, we had to buy another one. So we ended up practicing with the frog/fish bow at home, and taking the new one without to lessons.
