The Crown Jewel

Blended Acoustic Core

A blended Kevlar, carbon, and natural fiber Acoustic Core is infused under high-pressure to achieve unrivaled timbre, overtones, and range at every level. Our team's decades of expertise reveal that excellent viola bow sound depends on more than carbon fiber alone.

Diamond Weave Carbon Fiber Architecture

Aerospace-grade carbon fibers, precisely layered and woven, run continuously from button to tip in a Diamond Weave. This fine construction affirms that each CodaBow Diamond GX viola bow maintains an ideal balance of strength, flexibility, and sensitivity.

Crafted to Last

All high-wear components (including tip plate, tip wedge, and button bearings) are expertly manufactured utilizing the industry's preeminent composite materials to guarantee a lifetime of worry-free play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

As the world faces an endangered supply of instrument-grade ebony, Xebony® is a proprietary blend of natural fibers and resin that features a deep shine and traditional grain, dazzling both players and knowledgeable bow makers. Since Xebony® is more robust and resilient than natural ebony, it offers peace of mind and helps conserve endangered resources.

Designed for Globetrotting Musicians

With GlobalBow® designation, CodaBow Diamond GX viola bows do not contain endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or flora) and can travel internationally with you worry-free.

Amazing Bow

This bow, is absolutely amazing! One of the best viola bows on the market, and is great for a variety of styles. I am mainly an orchestral/classical musician but I can see this being great for other styles like fiddling, Celtic, and etc. If you’re looking for a good viola bow that is reliable and makes a warm and resonant sound, this is the one!

Revelation

It was with trepidation that I ordered a Diamond GX cello bow. Having always needed to try before I buy, to see if the bow works well with the instrument.

My fears were dispelled after just a few minutes. I went straight to those passages that just weren’t sounding as good as they should. The Coda bow delivers. I could sustain double stops for longer and with a slower bow, switch between on and off the string techniques and the sound is smoother and sweeter to my ears..

I have to work hard on my cello to get the very high notes towards the end of the fingerboard to sound acceptable, but this is hugely improved by my GX.

We are still getting to know each other but I already know that I couldn’t get this quality at this price with a pernambuco bow.

This is not my second bow for travelling- this is my first bow - every time..

excellent service

I am very happy to report that the service I received on-line from Hannah at CodaBow.com was completely satisfactory. She understood my situation and solved my problem.
I recommend this website to others needing help for coda bow issues.

Lifechanging

After several years, I've decided the time has come to upgrade bows. I selected the Diamond GX and it has been a massive difference in play and feel. The first thing that came to mind was that it just felt much more responsive. Certain etudes I had worked on that felt sluggish now felt extra punchy and lightweight. To me, my previous bow felt like cutting through cold butter but switching to this one felt like cutting through warm butter (or even margarine).

sadly, the Diamond GX did not imbue me with the ability to magically play Tchaikovsky's Op 35.

Amazing Response

I've had my GX for a while and I've absolutely enjoyed it. Having such a versatile response can make playing any piece more fun and exhilarating! When trialing other bows, one thing that stood out to me was how I got such a beautiful, natural tone with a less wispy and artificial response. As a violist, this bow has helped me through various passages, especially with the weighted frog. I heavily recommend this to violists who may not exactly get the exact response from other bows. This is bow is a gamechanger!

I adore my codabow

I love my bow so much. I got the diamond GX as a replacement for a beginner bow that I have had since I started playing violin, and it has been such an amazing upgrade. It cuts out annoying string noise and produces a beautiful warm sound on my instrument, is super responsive, and visually beautiful as well. I am so pleased with this bow and all that it lets me do.
