Drawing inspiration from legendary bow artisans, the CodaBow SLA4 Luma Violin Bow offers a bright, smooth tone that matches its effortless handling. Weighing less than the average violin/viola/cello bow, the Luma, made of carbon fiber, delivers a nimble and responsive performance for tackling even the most demanding musical passages, particularly those requiring precise spiccato articulation. Its silver-toned sound and graceful agility allow seamless integration in ensembles, maintain equilibrium in smaller settings, and attract musicians of all genres, including fiddlers. If you seek a violin/viola/cello bow that offers a well-rounded playing experience with significantly reduced weight, look no further than the Luma.
Elevate Your Violin/viola/cello Performances with the Luma
While some may argue that lighter violin/viola/cello bows are less responsive, challenging to control, and prone to bouncing, the Luma carbon fiber violin/viola/cello bow from CodaBow defies these notions. Inspired by master bow makers but crafted with a modern twist, the Luma enhances your violin/viola/cello playing experience.
Achieving the Right Tone with Optimal Dimensions
Combining traditional concepts with cutting-edge engineering, the Luma challenges the notion that lighter bows, especially those made of carbon fiber, lack the depth and warmth of Pernambuco bows. With its innovative blended acoustic core, the Luma produces a rich, warm tone and offers a surprisingly generous dimension.
Ready for Quick Response
The Luma is always poised and responsive. This well-balanced, lightweight carbon fiber bow ensures the agility and speed you demand from your violin/viola/cello bow. The streamlined Aero Xebony® frog enhances precision and attack, while the bow’s lightness keeps you perfectly in control, allowing for effortless tonal shifts. The 3D diamond weaving on the Luma further reduces its weight while maintaining optimal response and flexibility.
Ideal for Fiddling, Virtuosity, and Speed
Fiddlers love the Luma bow. Reviews rave that the Luma bow “practically plays itself.” Its lightweight and responsive design make it perfect for extended play sessions of bluegrass, country, folk, and Irish fiddling without fatiguing your arm. Unlike other lighter bows that may compromise control and response, the Luma excels in these aspects.

Constructed with durable, high-quality materials, all high-wear components of the Luma bow, including the tip plate, tip wedge, and button bearings, are designed to withstand extensive use, ensuring a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
