Some violin parts have fun names... I've always liked the frog

For info - for those who don't know - the 'frog' is part of the bow. It is the piece wood (usually ebony) that is often referred to by a bowmaker as 'the slider'. The bit with the bow hair attached to it that moves backwards and forwards as you tighten/loosen the bow hair.
