Key Features
The Codabow Marquise GS Viola Bow is suited to advancing and professional players seeking refined control and expressive tonal depth. Developed as a master-level model, it combines traditional bow-making principles with advanced materials to deliver a responsive playing experience across a wide range of musical styles.
Advanced and organic fibres are blended to produce a vibrant, resonant sound with impressive sensitivity, while a pure Kevlar acoustic core adds power without sacrificing nuance. In-Touch technology uses continuous unidirectional carbon fibre from button to tip, enhancing response and creating a direct connection between player and bow. Its centre-frog balance, moderate-supple action, and medium-soft stiffness profile support detailed articulation and refined control. Each Marquise GS also includes a unique identification number for registration, unlocking a lifetime warranty and access to priority workshop services. For players pursuing greater tonal expression and technical precision, the Marquise GS offers a highly responsive platform.

The Marquise GS is built for players who demand greater depth and flexibility from their bow. Its supple feel and responsive handling allow subtle adjustments in articulation, dynamics, and phrasing to be communicated with clarity. The bow's rich, vibrant tonal character encourages expressive playing across solo, chamber, orchestral, and contemporary repertoire. Combined with its deep string connection, this responsiveness helps players explore a broader range of tonal colours while maintaining control throughout demanding passages and intricate musical lines.
Expertly blended advanced and organic fibres create a playing experience inspired by traditional master bows. This construction delivers sensitivity and resonance while benefiting from the consistency and durability of modern materials. A 100% Kevlar acoustic core contributes additional strength and energy transfer, supporting powerful bow strokes without losing tonal refinement. Together, these materials create a bow that responds naturally in the hand, helping players shape their sound with confidence while maintaining the reliability expected from a contemporary design.
In-Touch technology uses unidirectional carbon fibres that extend continuously through the bow, creating a direct pathway for energy transfer. This architecture improves lateral stability, enhances tracking, and helps maintain a precise connection between player and string. The centre-frog balance profile and moderate-supple action further support controlled handling, allowing advanced players to execute detailed bowing techniques with greater confidence. Whether performing delicate passages or more demanding repertoire, the design promotes accuracy, consistency, and responsiveness throughout the bow's full length.
Each Marquise GS features sterling silver fittings, sterling silver winding, a Moroccan leather grip, and Gold Medal stallion hair. The Xebony frog provides an alternative to traditional ebony while retaining an elegant appearance and durable construction. Every bow is assigned a unique identification number, allowing registration with Codabow to activate a lifetime warranty and access selected workshop services. GlobalBow construction contains no endangered, regulated, or monitored wildlife materials — helping simplify international travel for musicians who regularly perform, study, or tour abroad.
