Model Type: Special Design

“Enlightened performance"

With a nod to the great French bowmakers Lamy and Voirin, the LUMA has a high, shimmering timbre as silky as its handling.

The Aero frog design off-loads the hand while the lightness of the shaft allows a facile and nimble response for flashy, technical passages. The bow’s silvery tone and graceful agility is well-suited to intimate settings, blends well in ensembles, and is sought by players of all styles.

It appeals especially to players desiring lightness in weight and character.

Ideal for players progressing through Intermediate / Advanced Grades 5 - 8. View the CodaBow Pedagogical Approach here for more information.

Features & Benefits of this Codabow:

Graphite Diamond Weave: The Graphite Diamond Weave is woven in Codabow's traditional design, to produce the highly sought balance between strength and balance. The fibres extend from the button to the tip of the bow, ensuring an evenness of balance across the entirety of the bow.
Blended Acoustic Core: The Blended kevlar acoustic core fibres which run through the bow help to provide more power in the bowing action, whilst still offering the natural feel and tonal qualities of fine Pernambuco wood.
Aero Design Xebony Frog: The Aero Design frog made by Walter Paulus, is made out of one of the only resourceful alternatives to the threatened supply of Ebony which has been named Xebony. This material provides a natural feel which continues to impress bow makers and performers alike. The Aero Design distributes the frog mass strategically across the bow shaft and offloads the hand while increasing the bow's attack.
Crafted from Xebony: XEBONY® is an elegant solution to the world's endangered supply of instrument-grade Ebony. Comprised of organic fibres and resin, XEBONY® boasts a rich lustre and natural grain that impresses players and bow makers alike. Stronger and more durable than natural Ebony, XEBONY® offers improved performance while conserving our endangered resources.
GlobalBow™: Contains no endangered, regulated, or monitored species (wildlife or fauna), and pass freely through international Customs so players avoid the travel concerns of traditional bows.
