Arcofrog Grip Aid for Cello

Arcofrog Tadpoles™ Grip Aid for Cello – faster to a secure bow hold

The Arcofrog Tadpoles™ are a clever bow-hold trainer for cello, developed in the USA directly from real-life string teaching practice. Gentle, tactile elements help students understand and internalize a correct bow hold through muscle memory and instant feedback.

Thanks to different textures and precisely designed grooves, it quickly becomes clear where each finger should be placed. The Tadpoles provide clear reference points that noticeably speed up the learning process. Especially practical: the transfer of the learned bow hold from the Tadpoles to a regular bow usually happens very quickly – ideal for lasting progress in lessons.

The patented, flexible tactile features adapt to all hand sizes and can easily be integrated into existing teaching concepts – whether using your preferred method, a pedagogical approach, or a playful “bow-hold story.” Designed for teachers who want to work efficiently and motivatingly in their lessons.
