I was surprised to learn of this new offering from Codabow they're calling the "Marquise GS." But apparently it's not really new. They're claiming that they've been making top of the line custom bows for select private customers for years now. They've called this the "Marquise One" line. One particular custom design was favored above all others, so they've introduced that as a standard model. It's totally new news to me that they did anything like this.

OK, so Southwest Strings had a 15% off sale and for the first time ever it applied to Codabow products. I decided to get a Diamond GX with the white "Alabaster" frog. Complete impulse buy to be sure.

Baroquecello, I hope you don't mind that I copied and pasted you onto the new topic.To answer your question Baroquecello, I do hear a better response in the lower strings on instruments that have had a CF rod installed but it would be a lot for me to recommend that in your situation without seeing the instrument. For example, you may have lost some of that power in the low end due to a soundpost that is too short since it's a new instrument. Also, it's not uncommon for necks that are new to lose some of their projection. A centimeter is quite a lot though. Did you have a new bridge cut? I

Seeking carbon fiber double violin case. Will consider other material but must not exceed 5.5 pounds or 2.4 kilograms. Hima or Howard Core type. Gewa "Idea" and BAM high-tech would be fine, but need it at a much lower price. New preferred. Slightly used considered. Also have extra cases of my own for trade or partial trade. violinist@rkviolin.com
