Customizable Gigging Violin, Cello, and Viola Bow

Finally, make your gigging bow a reflection of your style and technique. Make it Emerald, make it Sapphire, make it sparkle in a stage light. Literally. With the CodaBow Chroma Diamond SX carbon fiber bow, we preserved the classic appeal of the Diamond SX design but opened the door to complete customization. 

Select the violin, viola, or cello bow best suited for your musical requirements. Next, pick your stick color and winding color. Then, get to gigging.

Bright and Lively Exposition

Experience a more focused, brighter tone than the CodaBow Diamond SX (and in the color of your choice!). Lively balance offers the controlled agility necessary for advancing your technique and exploring new musical genres. Balanced Action, or “connection” with your violin strings, plus moderate bow stiffness produces a full, resonant sound.

Equally Lively Color Options

Match your bow shaft and winding color to your band or band-to-be. Or don’t. It’s up to you! Choose from Amethyst (purple), Black, Emerald (green), Sapphire (royal blue), Ruby Amethyst Prismatic, or Ruby Amber Prismatic for the bow shaft. Winding color options include Amethyst, Emerald, Sapphire, Nickel, and Ruby. 

Strong, Yet Flexible Execution 

Graphite fibers, precisely woven in our trademark diamond weave pattern, extend from the bow’s button to tip to achieve the highly-sought after balance between strength and flexibility. Play fiddle music, play classical music, play whatever genre the moment demands. The Chroma Diamond SX carbon fiber bow can handle it. 

Ideal for On-the-Go Musicians

A gentle frog-ward shift of the balance point and engineered facility delivers a livelier bow often desired by professionals. The bow’s focused timbre is perfect for cutting through the soundwall at outdoor shows or acoustically-challenged venues. Try it and see. The Chroma Diamond SX is built for the traveling or gigging musician.

Durable for Any Musical Journey

Are you gearing up for an international tour? CodaBow is there for you. The high-pressure infused Blended Acoustic Core contains a powerful blend of Kevlar and S-Glass that offers a natural sensitivity unattainable with carbon fiber alone and a layered tone rivaling fine Pernambuco wood. Durable carbon fiber construction means your violin, cello, or viola bow will be unaffected by fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Go ahead, travel near and far with your Chroma Diamond SX.

Global-Minded Construction

The Chroma Diamond SX holds a GlobalBow® designation. GlobalBow® means your gigging bow contains no endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or fauna) and can pass worry-free through international Customs. It features three different grades of ethically-sourced Mongolian horse hair and a Xebony® frog. Xebony® is a unique blend of natural fibers and resin that boasts rich luster and natural grain, impressing players and bow makers alike. More robust and more durable than natural ebony, Xebony® offers peace of mind while preserving endangered resources.

Lifetime Technology

All high-wear components (including the bow’s tip plate, tip wedge, and button bearings) are precision-made using industry-leading composite materials to ensure a lifetime of worry-free play.
