Marquise Escher Viola

$1,750.00

The CodaBow Marquise Escher is the perfect partnership between musician and bow: a master-level carbon fiber viola bow that delivers exceptional handling and expressive, nuanced tones. Responsive and visually captivating, the Escher dazzles with its opulent sound and stylish design — not unlike the 1934 Oscar-winning song, “The Continental” — it’s “something daring, a way of dancing that’s really ‘entre nous’.”

Enjoy a Lifetime of Play

All components on the CodaBow Escher susceptible to wear (including the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate) are precision-made using cutting-edge composite materials to ensure a lifetime of worry-free viola play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

A sophisticated answer to the scarcity of the world's endangered instrument-grade ebony supply, Xebony® is a unique blend of resin and natural fibers that showcases natural grain and luxurious gloss, drawing the attention of those craft viola bows and those who use them. Offering more strength and durability than real ebony, Xebony® offers a sense of security while protecting limited natural resources.

Designed With a Global Mind

The CodaBow Escher carbon fiber viola bow bares a GlobalBow® designation, ensuring no endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or fauna) within so the viola bow can pass worry-free through international Customs.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

The CodaBow Escher uses our In-Touch™ architecture, featuring the first-ever unidirectional carbon fibers running seamlessly from button to tip on both sides of the shaft. This groundbreaking design allows the player to feel the viola bow's full-length dynamics and response as never before, resembling the grain pattern seen in the finest Pernambuco bows

Natural Acoustic Core

The best viola bows contain more than quality carbon fiber. The Escher features a Natural Acoustic Core comprised of a blend of organic plant fibers to help produce a sophisticated, rich sound.

100% worth it

Even as an intermediate player, I never knew that a good bow is just as important as the instrument itself. If I was upgrading, I was upgrading big so I bought the Escher. It is really beautiful in person and matches my viola perfectly. Wow! This bow. I have so much control over the projection of my viola. It is sensitive and responsive to anything you try to throw at it. My crunchy spiccatos are now velvety smooth. I 100% recommend it no matter professional or hobbyist.

Amazingly responsive

The bow exceeds my expectations! Beautiful looking, and amazingly responsive to play. I don’t know why I waited so long to get a new bow!

Superb feel and touch- beautiful bow!

Thank you all so much for your excellent customer service throughout, and the amazing wonderful product at the end! The week of free trial you offered to compare the various models made the selection process so easy!

I’m a classical and bluegrass player, and this bow maneuvers both worlds with ease! From spiccato to shuffles, the weight distribution and control just feels perfect!

And...as a bonus, it’s simply beautiful!

I can’t thank you all enough for all your help throughout this process. I will recommend you to anyone who needs a great quality bow!

Natural and Responsive

Firstly, the customer service was exceptional given these trying times. I was able to get answers to my questions on the bow and arrange for some unique customizations.

Secondly, the bow itself arrived as expected, in a quality case. It arrived exactly as expected, and performed exactly as expected. This was, overall, a rewarding purchasing experience and will, for the foreseeable future, continue as a rewarding musical experience. I strongly recommend working closely with Codabow's team to get their feedback.
