Inspired by the great bow makers of history, the CodaBow Luma violin bow has a high, shimmering timbre that’s as silky as its handling. Lighter than the average violin bow, the Luma carbon fiber bow enables a facile and nimble response for playing your way through the most challenging musical sections — especially those jumps in spiccato. The bow’s silvery tone and graceful agility allow it to blend effortlessly in ensembles, maintain balance in smaller settings, and are sought by players of all styles, including fiddlers. If you want a bow for your violin that provides a well-rounded playing experience with considerably less weight, then look no further than the Luma.

Fiberglass, Composite, and Cadenza model bows.

Eastman Fiberglass "K. Holtz"

A beginning player should not have to make a large investment in his or her first bow. At the same time, it is unrealistic to expect an inexperienced player to excel if he or she is forced to play with poorly balanced, weak, or warped bow. K.Holtz FG bows require no compromise — they are designed with beginning players’ specific needs and budgets in mind. These strong, well-balanced, attractive bows produce a smooth, clear sound without a lot of physical effort from the player. And with K.Holtz FG bows, players can invest their efforts in improving their playing without having to invest a lot of money in their bows.
