Field tested with students & pros
Bow Buddies originated in a youth orchestra rehearsal space. Teachers needed a quick fix for bows that slid off chairs or landed on the floor. After countless prototypes, we landed on a clip that blends into any stand while staying performance ready.
Our beta clips are currently used by studio teachers, symphony players, and touring ensembles across the Rockies.
“Students stop knocking bows off stands. The Bow Buddy saved us from needless rehairs and keeps rehearsals moving.”— Sarah M., Orchestra Director
