CodaBows
Codabows are a range of Carbon fiber / Graphite fiber bows which I import from the U.S.A. Carbon fiber is a material that shares similar flexibility and weight characteristics with the best bow woods, except it is much much stronger, will never loose its spring, neither can it crack, split or warp, making it perhaps the ideal bow material. Certainly, in their price brackets, they out perform traditional wooden bows and are a much better investment. The sticks have a lifetime guarantee, and can be rehaired in the normal manner. They have proven to be very popular with my customers.
Codabows are engineered and built in a deliberate manner to exacting specifications. The stability of materials used in Codabows offers a level of reliability in performance, and longevity, not available in traditional wooden bows or cheaper composite / carbon fiber bows. CodaBows will be sent Special Delivery at a cost of £5.95.

The original CodaBow range of; Aspire, Electric, Colours, Conservatory and Classic has been discontinued and replaced by the new Diamond range, which are listed below.

Diamond SX Violin Bow

A new bow from Codabow. These bows are made using woven carbon fiber cloth, (that's the pattern you can see on the bow) and they have a Kevlar core. Clean, precise and crisp, I would say, with good 'feel and touch'. These bows look really nice and should be a real treat for any player.

Diamond GX Violin Bow

Designed for professionals, the GX offers performance once only found in the finest pernambuco bows. The innovative introduction of Kevlar into the shaft’s core gives the DIAMOND the natural sensitivity and organic tone characteristic of the best wooden bows. So, it looks good, sounds good, feels good, and does everything a good bow should. Must be good!

Musicary Violin Bows

These are good Carbon fibre Violin bows made in France. They come in Black or White, only White now available, and as you can see, have a uniquely shaped ebony frog with coloured eye. At about 60 gms the weight is average, and they are a very direct, firm and accurate bow to play with.
Musicary Violin Bows will be sent Special Delivery at a cost of £5.95.

 

Arcus Bows

Arcus Carbon fibre Violin bows are hand made in Austria. These guys take an extremely technical approach to making these bows. {'Vorsprung-durch-tecknic' would be their motto if it hadn't already been used by someone else!} All their bows have a raw carbon fiber grey finish........they believe that the pigment adversely effects the playing quality of the bow. And who knows ..... they may be right ! The really different thing about them though, is that they are all made very lightweight but with enough resilience in the stick to produce a good full tone. So once you get used to the lightness, you can achieve better results with less effort, and with less strain on the bow hand and arm. There's one here especially for 5 stringers, my Octave violins, and any other violin. Have a look at the Vega below. It's the one with the Star on the frog. I love it !!!

Please email for stock availability. If I don't have it, it will usually be available in 3 days.

Arcus Veloce
If it's a good quality light bow you are after, then this is definitely worth a try. It weighs in at about 55gms. That's 5 gms lighter than the norm. They have a nice Piratinera frog, brown leather grip and nickel silver shiny bits.

Arcus Sonata
Only 50 gms , so very light, but resilient and nimble. These come in Round or Octagonal. The Sonata bow is used by serious students and amateurs. It has the same agility and comfort as the other models, with a clear, open sound. The Sonatas are nickel silver mounted, with an ebony frog and a silver and black winding.

Arcus Vega
Now here's a bow to be reckoned with !
It's heavy for an Arcus bow, but still just under normal weight of 60gms. The combination of it's weight and resilience makes it perfect for 5 stringers, it has enough guts to drive one of my Octave violins, and I love it on normal four string violins too!
It truly is a bow on Steroids ! [ Is that legal ?] What's more, it looks great too !!
I would definitely have one of these as my 'desert island luxury'
