Abstract
A bonded bow device for providing injured-hand support to a musician in playing a stringed instrument with an injured, disabled or otherwise impaired wrist, finger(s) and/or hand, and to play with a more relaxed wrist. The bonded bow device generally comprises a base formed as an elongate resilient partial-tubular member interrupted by a lengthwise notch configured for clamping a frog of a bow. A double-finger collar is fixedly attached to the base. In use a musician inserts any two adjacent good fingers of either hand through the double-finger collar and furls all remining healthy fingers around the base and bow. No matter the remaining grip strength, the support given by double-finger collar adds enough control to enable the musician to play.
