Description
The VioTech Suregrip bow cushion is a sleeve to make your bow more comfortable, reducing wear and tear on the bow and player alike!
The cushions are made of exceptionally light non-allergenic neoprene foam and are available for violin/viola and cello. They are solid black in colour.
The cushions come in a tube which contains 2 of the same sized cushions per tube. Sizes are for violin/viola, and a slightly larger size for cello.
VioTech Suregrip bow cushion Instructions for use:
The cushion can be rotated then reversed to maximise longevity. It can also be moved down the stick towards the frog to take up hair stretching and protect the stick.
- Remove the bow frog and apply a minuscule amount of silicon grease, washing-up liquid or petroleum jelly lubricant (such as Vaseline) inside one end of the cushion.
- Push the cushion onto the bow stick, and ease gently up towards the leather grip. The thin leading edge tends to tuck under, so ease the lip over the existing grip by flicking it up carefully with your fingernail.
- Continue to ease and push onto the grip. You might find the cushion tends to compress a little. Once the cushion is on ease it back a little the other way to achieve full length, and then ease in to the correct position.
- Replace the frog, taking great care to align the screw correctly

This came quickly and is as promised; better for my thumb and the bow.

Brilliant support for my thumb and for my students also!

It is a joy, and has transformed my bow control and sound. It’s also really nice to pick up the bow and feel at home immediately. Fitting it was fine using washing up liquid for lubrication. (viola player)
