The CelloPhant is a teaching aid that will help fix a cello bow hold in an instant!

If you are having trouble forming a correct cello bow hold, then this is the perfect cello teaching aid for you. Once installed on your bow, the clever elephant shaped device will guide your hand into the right position.

The rounded shape of the elephant encourages a curved hand whilst the grooves of the elephant help with finger placement. The Cellophant trains the hand to hold the bow correctly and naturally through muscle memory, thereby freeing the player to learn and enjoy other elements of string playing.

Another added bonus of the cellophant is that the added weight to the bow encourages better tone production.

We recommend using the teaching aid two weeks on and two weeks off repetitively until you see improvement, so that the player does not become completely reliant on the aid. Please see the video below on how to install the Cellophant correctly.
