The Player's Bow


Inspired by centuries of tradition and designed by the leaders of advanced bowmaking, the Marquise GS is the standard-bearer of master bows. Its optimum balance, flexibility, and weight provides exquisite handling. Its breakthrough organic-fiber architecture expresses a warm, rich, powerful sound. High-sensitivity carbon fibers extending continuously from button to tip plate bestow in it a natural response and beauty. Referred to inside the workshop as the 'Gold Standard', this Marquise design appeals to discerning players more than any other and is the clear choice as the standard-bearer of the Marquise Experience.

High-pressure infused Acoustic Core contains a first-ever blend of natural (plant) fibers and Kevlar® that delivers organic timbre, rich overtones, and a full range of expression.

Breakthrough In-Touch™ Technology showcases unidirectional carbon fibers running without interruption from button to tip. Advanced bi-lateral positioning of high-sensitivity fibers connects the player precisely to the tip and transmits their energy directly to the music.

XEBONY® is a beautiful solution to the world's endangered supply of instrument-grade ebony. Comprised of organic fibers and resin, XEBONY® boasts a rich luster and natural grain that impresses players and bow makers alike.

Excellent bow, but try more than one.

On the advice of various published reviews, I tried more than one of these bows. One I did not like, the other was just wonderful. I love the resonance, responsiveness, balance and sweet tone. It's very easy to play with, and beautiful in appearance. Compared with more expensive (JonPaul) bows I tried, and compared with my wood bow that I've played for years, the Marquise is clearly the better bow for my current instrument. Every violin/bow combination is different, but I'd certainly recommend trying one of these bows. Shar makes the process incredibly easy.

Nice bow!

I am enjoying the Marquise CodaBow very much. It gets a nice sound and manages all the different bow strokes really well. It’s great for teaching and playing.

Codabow Marquise

The Codabow Marquise produces a smooth, nuanced tone. It makes a rich, warm sound on my violin. I can play very precisely on fast passages with this bow. However, the bow didn't come in Codabow packaging and had rosin on the hair. I'm wondering if the bow was used?

The Marquise GS has incredible repsonse and nuanced sound

"I am an advancing classical player. I own a $1200 German Pernambuco bow that I purchased used for a very affordable price. It served me well until I needed to start to do more of the string bow strokes. It did them well, but it took much effort. I did
an in-home trial of the Diamond SX, Diamond GX, and Marquise GS bows. All of these bows were wonderful to play, had great sound, and performed off the string bow strokes easily, so it made it hard to choose. Each bow had its characteristics and was a joy
to trial. What I wasn't expecting, was that the Marquise GS would take my playing to a whole new level. The bow is flexible but not too soft a player, so I can keep the stick and the hair apart on any bow stroke. Its sound is refined, warm, and clear,
with a special sparkle. It allows for the most refined articulations and makes playing feel easier. Another reviewer mentioned how important it is to trial bows for a week because it takes that long with these very fine CodaBows to decide which bow and at
what price will serve the player the best. Be sure to change your strings for a fresh set before trialing carbon fiber bows- I had 6-month-old strings on when I started, and the bows did not sound as well. After changing for a fresh set of strings, the bows
sounded their true colors. I have two instruments, one dark and one bright, and all three bows played and sounded well on each instrument, but the Marquise GS stood out for me with its refined handling. The bow feels light, perfectly balanced, and as if it
is an extension of my hand. It's hard to describe the control felt with the Marquise GS, it just does what I ask it to. I know this is a bow I will be glad I purchased, because the GS helps me execute everything I need to in the repertoire, and with great
sound."
