CodaBow Escent viola bow

Modern carbon fiber performance with refined agility and tonal focus

The CodaBow Escent Viola Bow is a performance-level carbon fiber viola bow created for advancing and professional players who want a more nuanced response without sacrificing stability. The Escent pairs the supple response of a fine Pernambuco bow with the lively articulation of CodaBow's performance line, creating a modern energy that supports deeper string connection and clear tonal color across a wide range of styles. That makes it an appealing choice for violists preparing juries, playing weddings between orchestra services, or crossing between classical and contemporary settings.

Built with an exclusive natural acoustic core and unidirectional carbon fiber construction running from button to tip, the Escent is designed to offer focused tonal experience, strong connection, and a heightened sense of the bow's full-length response. Its innovative Xebony frog architecture adds agility and articulation, while the contoured thumb pocket promotes a more connected feel in the hand. With durable composite high-wear parts and GlobalBow designation for easier international travel, the Escent offers a polished balance of expressive handling, modern reliability, and professional versatility for serious violists.
