Bow Thumb Grips and Wrapping for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass | Prices and Options

Thumb grips tend to wear down. Once you have worn down the leather you should have the grip replaced. I have seen lots of nice bows that have a large indent in the stick which could have easily been prevented by changing the thumb grip before it's too late.

Thumb Grips -- Leather: Teju Pattern

  • Violin Thumb Grips: $6 *
  • Viola Thumb Grips: $6 *
  • Cello Thumb Grips: $8 *
  • Bass Thumb Grips: $8 *

Thumb Grips -- Teju Lizard

  • Violin Thumb Grips: $12 *
  • Viola Thumb Grips: $12 *
  • Cello Thumb Grips: $14 *
  • Bass Thumb Grips: $15 *

Protective Wrap Near Frog

This wrap protects the stamp and helpes to keep the stick from getting any additional wear.

  • Violin: $20 *
  • Viola: $20 *
  • Cello: $22 *

Imitation Whale Bone with grip

The imitation whale bone wrap has good color and a slight arch. Once some irregularities are added it looks very similar to real whale bone.

Replacing winding with different material than original

Hello, is it an option to replace metal winding with imitation whalebone? Or if the original winding material was metal (in my case I believe it was copper coated with either nickel or silver), then that is what I should stick with?

Brian,

The imitation whale bone wrapping is lighter and a little thicker than silver or plated wire wrapping. If you like the current balance and feel of the bow, it might be better to use the silver wrapping. If you want it a little lighter you could use the immitation whale bone wrap.
