Hold Fish by things 4 strings – Violin & Viola

Description The Hold Fish pinky support is part of the Bow Hold Buddie accessory set for violin and viola, which is an ingenious and revolutionary invention to help shape and stabilize bow holds– moving beginning players to a functional bow hold in an Instant! The accessories train the hand to hold the bow correctly and naturally, through muscle memory, thereby freeing the player to learn and enjoy other elements of string playing. Although it comes as part of the set, the Hold Fish is also available here on its own. The Hold Fish pinky support 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. This placement allows for the points of contact of the index and pinky fingers to be equidistant to that of the thumb.
