Hinged violin bow guide
Description
I designed this bow guide for my daughter, who suffers from left side hemiparesis, and plays a reversed violin, using her right hand for fingering and her left hand for bowing. She needed a bow guide to help support the weight of the bow and stop it from sliding down toward the nut. Standard bow guides require the bow angle to be quite precise, which was difficult for her to achieve. I took inspiration from [MissyMoo9's bow guide's](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3344626) fingerboard attachment method. The print-in-place hinge allows it to fold down flat for storage without needing to remove it. Clearance is quite tight so it stays upright with a pressed fit. It is designed for a **1/2 size** violin, please let me know if you would like a different size. Mirrored versions are provided to cater for left and right handed bowing.
