Viotech Cello Bow Cushion (Tube of 2pcs)

VioTech Suregrip foam bow cushions are available for violin/viola and cello. They are solid black in colour. Designed and made in the UK in response to requests from musicians who like to use a bow cushion for added comfort and grip. The cushions are available in sets of 2 same sized cushions per tube. Sizes are for violin/viola, and a slightly larger size for cello.

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.

• 1. Remove the bow frog, and apply a miniscule amount of silicon grease, washing-up liquid or petroleum jelly lubricant (such as Vaseline) inside one end of the cushion.

• 2. 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.

• 3. Continue to ease and push onto the grip. You might find the cushion tends to compress a little. Once on the grip, ease it back a little the other way to achieve full length, and ease into the correct position.

• 4. Replace the frog, taking care to align the screw correctly.
