This is the answer a problem that many players have when using baroque bows. Many models have plain round sticks making holding the bow not without issues because of the wood being slippery, resulting in a possible firmer grip than desired.

So far so good!

I was pleased with the bow cushioned grip, also the quick turn around.

I am a violinist with a great deal of arthritis in my right hand. I put these on the grip of my bow and it supplies great cushioning for my thumb.

This grip device is amazing to help achieve proper hand and finger positioning on the bow
Esther B - 07/13/2022
It’s overall excellent but it is very tight to put it in. Otherwise, it looks great and gives comfy throughout.

Great grip and great price. I find that my left thumb is less tense now, which helps my bow hold greatly.

This makes it so much easier to place my thumb correctly. They do break down eventually.

Excellent thumb grips, I have used these for almost 15 years. Especially good if you get sweaty hands. They need replacing once in a while because they compress a little with use.

Excellent service.

These bow cushions fall apart very quickly.

Very satisfied. Though I was not impressed with the product.

Very pleased with the bow cushion.

After one playing the sure grip became too loose on the bow stick. The bow is a bit smaller than normal, as it is a baroque cello bow.
Alexa V - 02/10/2022
A great product to make bow hold more comfortable, I like giving it to my students who struggle putting just the tip of the thumb next to the frog and tend to use too much pressure. Price feels a little high for a small product but I live pretty far from most music stores that have this or they sell out quickly so it was worth it for me to pay for shipping.

It was a little difficult to install on my bow, but it does provide a more comfortable grip. I have arthritis in my fingers and this does help give me a more secure grip.

Process was easy to find and purchase the accessory I was looking for.

Practical and perfect for my bow.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
