Info from the Codabow website:
A stunning tribute to history’s great performance bows, the CodaBow Diamond GX carbon fiber cello bow will thrill you with a tone that is both strikingly lush and dynamic. An innovative Acoustic Core, classic weight and balance, and high response come together for an elite, eloquent bow reactive to the most nuanced playing. It is compatible with an array of bowing techniques, playing percussive, staccato strokes as gracefully as sonorous long tones. The CodaBow Diamond GX cello bow blends cohesively in ensemble settings or projects richly for soloists.
A blended Natural and Kevlar Acoustic Core (including Kevlar, carbon, and natural plant fibers) is infused under high-pressure to create distinct timbre, overtones, and range, no matter the level. Our team’s collective experience shows that superior cello bow sound depends on more than simply carbon fiber.
Aerospace-grade carbon fibers, precisely layered and woven, extend continuously from button to tip in a Diamond Weave. This careful construction means that each CodaBow Diamond GX cello bow maintains an ideal balance of strength, flexibility, and sensitivity.
All components susceptible to extensive wear and tear, such as the tip plate, tip wedge, and button bearings, are precisely crafted utilizing the industry’s preeminent composite materials to guarantee a lifetime of worry-free play.
It’s no secret that the world’s supply of instrument-grade ebony wood is endangered. Xebony® is a proprietary blend of natural fibers and resin that features a deep shine and traditional grain that captivates players and artisans alike. Since Xebony® is more robust and resilient than natural ebony, it provides peace of mind and helps conserve endangered resources.
GlobalBow® designation means that CodaBow cello bows, including the Diamond GX, are made without any endangered, monitored, or regulated species (flora or fauna) and can pass worry-free through international customs.
