Illuminated Cello Performances Start With Luma

A popular theory may be that lighter cello bows can feel less responsive, hard to control, and even jumpy. But we say it’s because they haven’t played with CodaBow’s Luma Cello Bow. It might pull from the remarkable heritage of history’s best bow makers, but the Luma bow’s design and engineering deviate from tradition in the best ways. Expect the unexpected with the Luma.

The Right Tone With the Perfect Dimensions

Old-fashioned ideas meet new-fashioned technology. A common belief among many cello players is that lightweight bows (especially bows constructed from carbon fiber) can’t measure up to the dimension or color that Pernambuco bows provide. However, the Luma bow is more than just a carbon fiber bow. Its blended acoustic core brings an uncharacteristically large dimension and a shimmering, warm color to life.

Ready for Action

You say jump, and the Luma jumps. The balance and weight of this carbon fiber bow allow it to be as quick and responsive as you want. The Aero Xebony® frog is streamlined to enhance proficiency and attack, while the lightness of the shaft keeps you perfectly poised for wherever the music takes you. This results in a lighter touch and connection that makes it simple to make quick tonal changes. The 3D diamond weaving on the Luma helps make the bow even lighter while delivering the desired flexibility and response.

Built for Speed, Sound, and Fiddling

Fiddlers love how the CodaBow Luma Cello Bow crosses strings effortlessly. “It really plays itself,” reviewers claim. The Luma’s weight and character are optimal for performing country, folk, Irish fiddling, and bluegrass music all day long - and keeping your arm from cramping up! Though other lighter bows may provide less control and response from the strings, the carbon fiber Luma bow stands apart from the rest.

Durable Enough for a Lifetime

The high-wear parts on the CodaBow Luma Cello Bow, like the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate, are made from innovative materials and skillfully crafted to make sure you get a lifetime of stress-free play from your bow.
