Arcofrog Grip Aid for Violin & Viola

Arcofrog Tadpoles™ Grip Aid for Violin & Viola – faster to a secure bow hold

The Arcofrog Tadpoles™ are a thoughtfully designed grip aid tool for violin and viola, 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 act as clear reference points and noticeably speed up the learning process. Especially practical: the transfer of the learned bow hold from the grip aid 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 – regardless of method, pedagogical approach, or a playful “bow-hold story”. Designed for teachers who want to work efficiently, clearly, and motivatingly in their lessons.
