Channeling the splendor and elegance of the Art Deco movement, the Tuxedo viola bow seamlessly combines a modern aesthetic with richness and finesse. Its precise, subtle geometry embodies its polished and composed sound. It caters to the viola player, offering a tranquil dexterity to enhance both technique and expression.

Sustainable Xebony® Frog

To address the world’s endangered supply of instrument-grade ebony, we’ve created the Xebony® frog. Xebony® is our proprietary blend of natural fibers and resin that showcases rich luster and natural grain, capturing the attention of viola players and bowmakers alike. With more durability than genuine ebony, Xebony® provides peace of mind while helping preserve limited resources.

Lifetime Technology

Any component prone to wear and tear (like the tip wedge, tip plate, and button bearings) on the Tuxedo viola bow is made with cutting-edge composite materials and thoughtfully crafted to provide a lifetime of worry-free play.

Ready to Travel With You

The CodaBow Tuxedo carbon fiber viola bow holds the GlobalBow® designation. GlobalBow® guarantees the bow is free of endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or fauna). With the Tuxedo, passing through international Customs is easy.

Natural Acoustic Core

Through decades of experience, we have learned that to create a superior, sophisticated sound, bows require more than just carbon fiber. The CodaBow Tuxedo viola bow features a thoughtfully designed Natural Acoustic Core that contains a blend of organic plant fibers, delivering a rich, authentic experience.

Unidirectional Carbon Fiber

On both sides of the Tuxedo bow's shaft, unidirectional carbon fibers flow uninterrupted from tip to button. This groundbreaking technology allows a musician’s fingertips to feel the viola bow’s full-length dynamics and response like never before, imitating the grain pattern of traditional Pernambuco bows.
