Best-in-Class Cello Bow for Master Level Players

Natural Acoustic Core

A carefully designed Natural Acoustic Core features a blend of organic plant fibers, resulting in a profound, pure experience. Decades of experience has taught us that producing superior, complex sound demands more than just carbon fiber.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

Natural and elegant, In-Touch™ architecture provides unprecedented unidirectional carbon fibers that continuously span both sides of the shaft, from button to tip. This revolutionary advancement empowers a cello player's fingertips to discern the bow's full-length dynamics and response in an entirely new way, mirroring the natural grain of the most esteemed Pernambuco bows.

Built to Last a Lifetime

All wear-intensive components (including the button bearings, tip plate, and tip wedge) of the Marquise GS cello bow are skillfully engineered using industry-leading composite materials to provide a lifetime of confident play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

An elegant approach to addressing the scarcity of instrument-quality ebony worldwide, Xebony® is a unique combination of natural fibers and resin that showcases an opulent shine and authentic grain, capturing the attention of both cello players and bow makers. Stronger and more durable than natural ebony, Xebony® offers peace of mind while preserving endangered resources.

GlobalBow® Designation

The CodaBow Marquise GS has a GlobalBow® designation, meaning it does not contain monitored, regulated, or endangered species (wildlife or fauna) and can safely pass through international Customs.

Marvellous

I’ve been playing professionally as a classical violinist with orchestras for 40 years. Five years ago I was looking for a touring bow that would be strong , not as costly as my traditional high quality bow from Switzerland.
I came across Diamond GX . This bow was tried by an entire violin section and everyone was impressed by its responsiveness.
Since then I rarely use my other bow because this one is so consistent in in what it delivers. I’ve now bought a Marquis to add to my collection!

Superior bow in every way!

I trialed 4 bows for a week: 2 Marquise and 2 Diamond GX as I was upgrading from my student Diamond NX. While I enjoyed all 4–and I had planned to go with the GX- I fell in love with 1 of the Marquise for what it did for my violin and how natural it felt in my hand. What I would say makes the difference that justified the $$ for me was how responsive the bow was for expression and inflection of tone and color. I don’t pretend to be a great virtuoso but this bow helps take my playing to a new level and increases my love for playing my violin. And really, isn’t that what it’s all about?

Surpassed my expectations

I purchased this bow to pair with my Luis and Clark carbon fiber viola. I had been using my $4k German bow and the sound match wasn't exactly what I wanted. Wow - was I blown away when I used this bow! Immediate response which brought out all the tonal qualities of the instrument - many I have never heard. I originally bought this to be a back up for my "better" instrument/bow but now I have 2 equally strong sets! Totally amazing

Great Bow

I was looking for a bow with comparable sound that was lighter and more agile than my current pernambuco. To my delight, Coda Bow Marquise GS delivers next level agility, while creating even better sound. It feels light, responsive, smooth and perfectly balanced. It effortlessly produces rich clean tones and great resonance. Of four high quality bows I’ve owned over the years, this is by far most rewarding. The “wife of the marquis” is a perfect companion and never fails to put a smile on my face.

very nice playing experience

I have just got my marquise today. After applying rosin for 20 minutes straight, I finally got to trying it and I have to say, that's the best bow I have ever tried. The sound is very clean and it performs well on both fast and slow pieces. Definitely worth the money.

Still adjusting to it

I think it’s a great bow, but I’m still adjusting to it. I’d say, the Diamond GX definitely has better tracking and feels lighter. So for playability the diamond Gx is better at least for me. Both are very responsive and the sound is slightly better on the Marquise. My wood bow definitely has a more loving warm tone than the Marquis, and it’s not even a high end bow. But the Marquise really brings out more tones. It’s kinda like the wood bow is a 10 year old JL speaker. Where the Marquise is like a brand new JL speaker with a high quality tweeter. It just brings out more, good or bad depending on how well I’m playing. Haha
