CARBON FIBER BOWS FOR BASS
Savî: The More Sustainable Bow for Bassists
Introducing Savi—a bow designed to meet the powerful demands of bassists while supporting sustainability. Traditional bass bows often rely on pernambuco, an endangered wood. Maple Leaf Strings crafted Savî as a more sustainable alternative that delivers strength, balance, and precision for both French and German bow styles.
A beginning player should not have to make a large investment in his or her first bow. At the same time, it is unrealistic to expect an inexperienced player to excel if he or she is forced to play with poorly balanced, weak, or warped bow. K.Holtz FG bows require no compromise — they are designed with beginning players’ specific needs and budgets in mind. These strong, well-balanced, attractive bows produce a smooth, clear sound without a lot of physical effort from the player. And with K.Holtz FG bows, players can invest their efforts in improving their playing without having to invest a lot of money in their bows.

Core Select 600 Series: The Evolution of the Hybrid Bow
Experience the perfect harmony of tradition and innovation with the Core Select 600 Series Hybrid Bows. Designed for the discerning musician who values both performance and environmental stewardship, these bows represent the future of orchestral accessories.
Why Choose the Core Select 600 Series?
The 600 Series utilizes a sophisticated carbon fiber core for unmatched structural integrity and response, finished with a genuine Pernambuco overlay. This "best of both worlds" construction offers several key advantages:
Sustainable Craftsmanship: By utilizing a hybrid design, Core Select significantly reduces the reliance on endangered Pernambuco wood without sacrificing the aesthetic or "feel" that professional players crave.
Modern Durability: Unlike traditional wood bows that are susceptible to warping or atmospheric changes, the carbon fiber core ensures consistent tension and straightness across all playing environments.
Classic Aesthetic: The Pernambuco exterior provides the rich, traditional look of a premium wood bow, fitting seamlessly into any professional or student ensemble.
Superior Balance: Engineered for a nimble, balanced feel, these bows offer the bounce and articulation required for complex techniques.
True to its name, the INFINITY offers limitless possibilities for musicians to explore. With ideal lightness, length, and balance, the bow allows players to toss off advanced techniques and strokes effortlessly while the breadth of hair produces a maximum sound. With the bow doing all the work, it is the clear favourite of soloists.
A true workhorse, the REVELATION is a robust design with a stout, full sound. Its precision square weave lends the bow stability on the string and quick initiation at the start of the strokes. A traditional design that will feel familiar in the hand, this bow is preferred for orchestral performance.
Inspired by centuries of tradition and decades of fine bow making experience, the CodaBow MARQUISE GS is the Gold Standard of master bows. Designed by the leaders of advanced bowmaking, the GS delivers exquisite handling and expressive sound once reserved only for the finest master bows. Uni-directional carbon fiber extends continuously from button to tip for heightened response and sensitivity. Expertly blended advanced and organic fibers offer a tonal vibrancy and resonance unprecedented by any other carbon fiber bow. Supple in the hand and vibrant to the ear, the CodaBow MARQUISE GS appeals to professional bassists more than any other.
The Gold Standard for Master Level Bows
