Man builds bow holder for physically disabled boy

Jack is a physically disabled young boy who plays the violin. He wanted a custom adaption to play his violin, and that’s when Bill Sand, a volunteer from the charity May We Help (an organisation that develops gadgets to increase the autonomy level of disabled people), stepped in.

Bill developed a violin bow using 3D printing technology, plastic and metal. This new bow allows Jack to have more control over his instrument. This also gives him more confidence as a musician.

He already had some handmade adaptions made using tape, pieces of foam, etc. However these adaptations are not consistent, and Jack needed a more permanent solution so that we would learn, develop and master his musical skills. Also, Jack wanted a solution that would keep up with his growth.

The young musician got his new bow holder in 2015.
