Coda Marquise Escher Viola

The CodaBow Marquise Escher is the perfect partnership between musician and bow: a master-level carbon fiber viola bow that delivers exceptional handling and expressive, nuanced tones. Responsive and visually captivating, the Escher dazzles with its opulent sound and stylish design — not unlike the 1934 Oscar-winning song, “The Continental” — it’s “something daring, a way of dancing that’s really ‘entre nous’.”

Enjoy a Lifetime of Play

All components on the CodaBow Escher susceptible to wear (including the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate) are precision-made using cutting-edge composite materials to ensure a lifetime of worry-free viola play.

Xebony® Frog Solution

A sophisticated answer to the scarcity of the world's endangered instrument-grade ebony supply, Xebony® is a unique blend of resin and natural fibers that showcases natural grain and luxurious gloss, drawing the attention of those craft viola bows and those who use them. Offering more strength and durability than real ebony, Xebony® offers a sense of security while protecting limited natural resources.

Designed With a Global Mind

The CodaBow Escher carbon fiber viola bow bares a GlobalBow® designation, ensuring no endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or fauna) within so the viola bow can pass worry-free through international Customs.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

The CodaBow Escher uses our In-Touch™ architecture, featuring the first-ever unidirectional carbon fibers running seamlessly from button to tip on both sides of the shaft. This groundbreaking design allows the player to feel the viola bow's full-length dynamics and response as never before, resembling the grain pattern seen in the finest Pernambuco bows

Natural Acoustic Core

The best viola bows contain more than quality carbon fiber. The Escher features a Natural Acoustic Core comprised of a blend of organic plant fibers to help produce a sophisticated, rich sound.
