CodaBow Luma Viola Bow Review
Kirsti Petraborg reviews the CodaBow Luma viola bow!
With a nod to the great French bowmakers Lamy and Voirin, the CodaBow 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. The CodaBow Luma appeals especially to players desiring lightness in weight and character.
