Violin Bowing Guide Correction Tool (for 1/2-4/4 size)

Selling because it is no longer being used.

This is a 1/4 size violin that was used by a child for a short period. As it is made of plastic, there are minor scratches, scuffs, and signs of use on the surface, but it does not affect playability.

Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these details.

We would like to pass this on to someone who understands the above.

This is the HorACE Bow Guide, a practice tool for violin bow bowing.
To play with a beautiful tone, it is necessary to move the bow in the correct position and at the correct angle.
By attaching the HorACE Bow Guide to the violin and playing while moving the bow along the guide, you can naturally correct your bowing technique and develop proper bowing habits.
This is a highly recommended support item for beginners to improve their bowing skills.

The guide part is made of lightweight and durable polycarbonate resin, weighing only about 26 grams (for 4/4-1/2 size).
The guide has a rounded arch shape, so it feels natural when moving the bow, and being transparent, it does not obstruct the player's view.
The compact design allows for bowing practice very close to the end of the frog.
The edges of the guide, where the bow stick is likely to touch, are designed and manufactured with rounded edges, which is another recommended feature as it minimizes the risk of scratching the bow during bowing. The guide gently guides the bow to the correct angle.
The contact points with the instrument are also minimized, so there is almost no negative impact on the instrument's resonance.
This product has been thoughtfully designed and considered in many aspects, and has received patents in 5 countries, including Japan (Utility Model Registration No. 3176819).

It can be used with full-size 4/4 violins for adults, as well as fractional size violins for children, 3/4 and 1/2 size.
