Contains 24 Concert Black Hold Fish accessories. Adjustable Fit to help beginning bow hands aged 3 – Adult. Fits all bow sizes. Made in the USA. Manufactured of the finest medical grade silicone rubber. No latex allergy concerns. Durable and Dishwasher Safe. Things 4 Strings accessories, invented by American String Teachers Association honored studio teachers, are teacher designed, tested and approved. Our Hold Fish accessory instantly positions and supports the pinky finger of the bow hold! The Hold Fish pinky support, also available as part of the 2-piece Bow Hold Buddies accessory set, 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.

• Supports Curved Pinky: A curved yet flexible pinky finger is critical to bow control, tone production and a relaxed bow arm overall. The pinky finger correctly approaches the stick from slightly to the rear, positioning the finger tip so the finger can remain curved and flexible without sliding off the front of the stick. This allows the player to easily move the bow to play at the frog, and to counter balance the weight of the tip of the bow while playing in the lower half of the bow.
• Adjustable, Universal Fit -- for child to adult hand sizes: The Hold Fish is designed to slide along the bow stick to come to rest next to the ring finger. This positions the pinky finger correctly in the Hold Fish. As long as the child or adult player is playing approximately the correctly sized bow, the resulting bow hold will be correct.
