Things4Strings Bow Hold Fish Violin/Viola Bow Grip

seems expensive but worth it

It works for me - worth it despite the seemingly high cost; recommended

Cute look, fits on my bow nicely. Would say overpriced for what it is, and definitely wish there were more toned down/dark colors for those who aren't small children and/or dazzled by bright colors (dark green, brown, dark red, etc). Additionally, it would be nice if there was a version that wasn't a silly shape and just served its purpose as a pinkie support instead of also attracting attention. As much as I wanted to minimize items that would make me look like a beginner (despite technically being one), I can't escape my low-end hypermobility. My pinkie loves to straighten out and lock up when I try to focus or do any fast bowing. So, pinkie support it is.

Hold Fish Pinky for Violin and Viola

This small item works perfectly to help hold my pinky in place on the bow, as I deal with hypermobility issues (double-jointedness). As well, it can stay on my bow 24/7, as it is small enough to fit in my case. No need to remove the screw to put it on or take it off the bow, too!
