Drawing from centuries of tradition and decades of bow making expertise, the CodaBow Marquise GS Viola Bow stands as the pinnacle of master-level viola bows. Created by innovative bow making leaders, the Marquise GS delivers artful handling and expressive sound traditionally limited to only the finest master viola bows. Unidirectional carbon fiber extends continuously from button to tip for heightened response and sensitivity. A meticulous blend of advanced and organic fibers creates a tonal vibrancy and resonance unlike any carbon fiber viola bow before. Supple in the hand and lively to the ear, the CodaBow Marquise GS Viola Bow enchants professional viola players more than any other type of player.

The Professional Standard for Master-Level Viola Bows

Natural Acoustic Core

A meticulously designed Natural Acoustic Core is comprised of a blend of organic plant fibers delivering a rich, natural experience. With decades of experience, we have learned that creating superior, sophisticated sound requires more than carbon fiber alone.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

Elegant and natural, In-Touch™ architecture displays a pioneering innovation: unidirectional carbon fibers that flow continuously from the button to tip on both sides of the shaft. This breakthrough technology empowers a viola player's fingertips to discern the bow's full-length dynamics and response in an entirely new way, emulating the grain structure of the finest Pernambuco bows.

Designed for a Lifetime

All high-wear components (such as the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate) of the CodaBow Marquise GS Viola Bow are precision-made using advanced composite materials to ensure a lifetime of worry-free play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

An elegant solution to the world's endangered supply of instrument-grade ebony, Xebony® is a proprietary blend of natural fibers and resin that showcases a natural grain and luxurious gleam, impressing viola players and bow makers alike. More resilient and reliant than natural ebony, Xebony® gives you the confidence to play while protecting an endangered resource.

Global Bow Design

The CodaBow Marquise GS is a GlobalBow® designated viola bow, which ensures it does not contain regulated, endangered, or monitored species (fauna or wildlife) and can pass through international customs without a problem.
