The yoke
I got the idea for “the yoke” from when I was a boy living in the country, and I’ve now applied it to teaching the cello. The “yoke” consists of:
- a belt or a ring of leather (to go round the child’s neck)
- two extendable rods
- two adjustable half rings
How the yoke is used:
- stops the elbow coming up and works on the wrist at the same time
- stops the elbow lowering
