Arcofrog Grip Aid for German Double Bass Bow

Arcofrog Tadpoles™ Grip Aid for German Double Bass Bow – faster to a secure bow hold

The Arcofrog Tadpoles™ are an innovative grip aid for bow-hold training designed for the German double bass bow. Developed in the USA from real-life string teaching practice, they help beginners and students learn a correct, relaxed, and stable bow hold quickly and sustainably.

With tactile textures and precisely designed grooves, students immediately understand where each finger should be placed. The Tadpoles provide clear reference points, build muscle memory, and offer instant feedback while playing. This noticeably speeds up the learning process.

Especially practical: the transfer of the learned bow hold from the Tadpoles to a regular bass bow usually happens very quickly. This makes them an excellent tool for instrument lessons, school orchestras, and home practice.

The patented, flexible tactile features adapt to all hand sizes and can easily be integrated into any teaching concept – regardless of method or pedagogical approach.
