Bow Frog Slide – replacement parts for violin, viola, cello and bass bows
The bow frog slide is an essential component of every stringed instrument bow, contributing to both the functionality and elegance of the playing experience. Designed to fit seamlessly into the frog mechanism, this small yet crucial piece enables smooth tension adjustment and protects the internal structure of the bow. Whether you're restoring a vintage bow or replacing a worn-out part, a quality frog slide ensures durability and playability.

It guides the tightening mechanism, allowing the hair to be adjusted effortlessly. Many models are tailored to specific bow types—violin, viola, cello or double bass—and come in various profiles to meet professional or educational standards.
