CodaBow Diamond NX Violin Bow

Very convenient and easy process trying out and returning in the pre-paid box, package, label for ups drop off

When I bought my CodaBow, I was really just going off of what I’d heard about them from other musicians - consistent production quality, a good price point, and a bit more warp-proof than a standard pernambuco bow. I wasn’t expecting a $500 bow to knock the socks off a $2500 wood bow, like some people says they do. Spoiler alert: they don’t! However, my bow has lived up to my expectations - it’s balanced, the weight is appropriate, and the construction feels sturdy. It would be very difficult to find a wood bow of comparable quality at a comparable price. It’s good enough to handle the big stuff (Beethoven, Paganini, Bach, etc.) without frustration beyond what is normal, and I am very happy with my purchase.

That’s not everything, though. The warranty is pretty robust, at least on paper, and several online spaces I frequent suggest that CodaBow’s customer service is meaningful. Supposedly, you can actually get in touch with a real person who can help you in real ways with little hassle. To clarify, I haven’t had to make use of those services, and I hope I never have to, but they’re apparently there if you need them.

I bought it for my daughter 13 years old. She likes it and her teacher told her her sound got better.

Great bow for the price. Produces a really smooth tone. I'm very pleased with it. Worth the money.

"As of the writing of this review, I have not personally played with the CodaBow Diamond NX Violin Bow, but I have heard it, and my 9th-grade student liked it. I chose this as part of a set of 4 bows for an in-home trial, and it stood out. On his instrument,
the improvement in sound volume, projection, and maturity was immediately noticeable to the listener. The student commented on how he felt he got more sound out the instrument with the NX with limited to no effort (a significant attribute of any bow/instrument
combination). We ran it through the paces (scales, fast and slow passages, staccato, spiccato, etc.) and it was easily a top two performer in each category. The H.R. Wilhelm Premier Nickel Mounted Violin Bow we tried was also a great option and the closest
in comparison to the NX. The NX currently comes in at $92 less (pre-tax) than the Wilhelm Premier and is a value I believe is worth every student's consideration."
