Leather bits for youngsters - has anybody used them?

[viola]

In the last week issue of H&H there was a short note on a leather bit. Does anybody know of any websites where they can be seen?
Do you use the bit and if yes, are they really as durable and yet soft as advertised?
Thanks

(Sorry if this was discussed earlier - I did a search and it returned no posts on this

)

Yes- and yes they are durable, be careful when purchasing as the cheaper ones can have quite rough edging (where the leather is stitched) Have in the past got local saddler to cover bit in leather for me, still have it now and it is used on my ISH who is very light in the hand and doesn't like the feel of metal in his mouth.
No idea where to get one sorry!
