An apparatus for applying rosin to a bow has a cake of bow rosin and a retainer element joined securely to the cake of bow rosin, the retainer element adapted to be gripped by a user's hand.

A simulated musical string instrument formed of plural shaped sheets of rigid material, such as cardboard. There is a top sheet forming a top surface of the simulated string instrument body, and a bottom sheet forming a bottom surface, and multiple sheets between. A simulated fingerboard is attached to the top surface. The top sheet and fingerboard gets stickers that show parts of the simulated string instrument body including openings and notes. There is also a simulated bow guide and a simulated bow.

An illuminating musical bow for visually enhanced performance when playing stringed instruments is disclosed. The illuminating musical bow may include a light source disposed within a hollow or cavity that is disposed within a transparent or translucent stick of the bow.

The invention relates to a bow for a bowed string musical instrument, which comprises a narrow stick and one or more strips or hairs for rubbing the strings of a bowed string musical instrument. The bow incorporates at least one illuminating means, a processing means able to activate and control the illuminating means, and a power supply battery for the electrical power supply of the illuminating means, all said elements being disposed on the narrow stick.

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 remaining 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.

The present invention is a rosin spreader that includes a body, a plurality of substantially parallel, spaced apart, elongated first teeth, a plurality of bristles, and an elongated first sidewall. The body has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge. The first teeth extend outwardly from the top surface of the body. The bristles extend outwardly from the top surface of the body. The first sidewall extends upwardly from the top surface of the body. The first teeth, the bristles, and the first sidewall are secured to the top surface of the body.
