Win a Set of WonderThumbs!!!Relax your hand and let the music flow... I recently discovered these neat violin playing aids called the WonderThumbs and really like them. In fact, I am surprised it took so long for someone to create these - thank you Craig! Lucky for us the creator was kind enough to donate a set to one of our lucky members. If you don't happen to be the lucky duck who wins, you can order these from the WonderThumb website or from Shar Music. They cost $24, and if you are thrifty like me, you may be on the fence for making this investment so I invite you to consider this price in comparison of 4 years of remedial violin lessons ($4,000+) if this is a product that could benefit you, your student or your child. Remedial lessons are costly and honestly, can be treachery for all parties involved. Just some food for thought as you consider this product. I played around with several different sizes and as a 5"8 female with slightly larger sized hands am probably an L in the WonderThumb sizing. That being said, I tried all the sizes, and I like the XL for using backward which is a non-traditional use of the product, but it worked for supporting the neck of the violin. I also liked the smallest size for taking up as little space as possible. Just some ideas to consider when looking into these. OK, now onto the FUN STUFF - enter this giveaway contest by saying "Hello" (or "你好" or "Bonjour" or "Dzień Dobry") in the comments below and a winner will be chosen in 24 hours.

I have a concern that I will never be able to play without it if I get used to this aid. Is it easy to graduate once I have a relaxed left hand? What is your view as a teacher? Thank you so much!

Hello Tod, Thank you for the comment. I have spent a few days thinking about this and understand your concerns. Unfortunately, I do not have a one size fits all answer because it depends on your propensities as a student. I would suggest consulting your teacher on this. Thanks again, Heather

Great idea! How easy does the thumb slide up and down the neck with that on? Or is it designed top be a training device until my thumb gets the message to RELAX!
