I’ve already written about the Don’t Fret, which is one of the accessories for violin and viola that I keep in stock. I was notified last week by the manufacturer that there is a new version of the Don’t Fret available, called the First Fret. These are shorter decals that only indicate the finger positions in the first position. Since the typical beginner will remove the fingerboard decal fairly soon after learning 3rd position anyway, I expect these to sell quite well. They are less expensive than the original Don’t Fret, and I expect them to be easier to install. The price for the violin First Fret will be $2.95 plus $1 shipping. I have made my initial order, and I expect to get them in sometime next week.
