Masterpiece Bass Bow. The Metropolitan bass bow, not just the finest carbon-fiber bow ever made, but one of the finest bass bows ever played. The concept was simple: We wanted to create a classic-style bow using carbon fiber. Unlike other modern carbon-fiber bass bows, this bow is created using the same principles used by PW Bryant, Marcel LaPierre, Andre and Joseph Vigneron, and Fetique. Coda was able to recreate the density and flexibility of the wood used by the original makers and together we crafted an amalgamation of the classic bows' finest qualities. Co-designed by David Gage Stringed Instruments and CodaBow. The Metropolitan is available in tuxedo-black finish with exposed carbon-fiber grain.
