Viotech Suregrip for Violin/Viola- comfort cushions for bows
VioTech Suregrip neoprene foam bow cushions are available for violin/viola and cello. They are solid black, and the cushions are available in a tube containing two same-sized cushions per tube.
Instructions for use:
The cushion can be rotated and then reversed to maximize 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. The cushion tends to compress a little. Once the cushion is on, ease it back a little the other way to achieve total length, and then ease into the correct position.
Replace the frog, taking great care to align the screw correctly
