Coda Joule Violin Bow

The Violin Bow for Electric Instruments & Extended Range Instrumentalists

When you're infusing every violin performance with high-powered energy, you need a carbon fiber violin bow that brings just as much. Choose the CodaBow Joule carbon fiber violin bow for an empowering performance. Now completely customizable, the CodaBow Joule delivers a bright, clear tone, and is ideal for electric violin musicians and extended instrument musicians.

• Balance: Center-Tip
• Weight: Medium-Heavy
• Action: Moderate
• Stiffness: Medium-Stiff

By scientific definition, a joule is a unit of energy, and that's exactly what you can expect when you pair a Joule carbon fiber bow with your violin. The violin bow bears the name of the 19th-century English physicist who contributed to our modern understanding of energy. The violin bow is designed to produce more energy and power than any other conventional violin bow of similar weight.

What’s the Secret Behind This Carbon Fiber Violin Bow’s Power?

The heavier your violin bow, the better grip it has on your strings. This consistent grip allows you to produce a more resonant and expansive sound. The CodaBow Joule might be heavier than your average violin bow, but the bow’s weight isn’t the only attribute that contributes to its power across extended ranges.

Innovative Shaft Design

Where traditional materials fall short, the Joule's innovative shaft design adds mass to key performance regions while still ensuring a balanced weight and supple flexibility. This unique design allows the violin bow to seize the string and articulate effortlessly, whether you're creating deep, sustained tones or sharp, percussive chops.

At the heart of the shaft is a robust composite acoustic core made of carbon fiber. This design feature bestows remarkable power upon the bow, even with its speed and agility.

Strategic Frog and Hair Length

The CodaBow Joule boasts a compelling resonance in the lower strings and pronounced projection across all ranges. The shorter frog and longer hair offer the flexibility to move into more demanding and aggressive styles. The Turbo Xebony® Frog shifts weight from under the hand to provide more space for bowing techniques at the frog.

Layered Diamond Weave

The Joule gains exceptional strength alongside desired flexibility, thanks to multiple layers of our groundbreaking Diamond Weave technology. This enhancement allows you to command the string and retain the nuance of expression.

Reviews for the Joule speak for themselves! One Portuguese violin player with more than 50 years of experience reported that the Joule gave his playing "new expression and performance capabilities" compared to the difference in balance from a classical bow.

Ready to Perform

Musicians of electric instruments and 5-6 string instruments appreciate the CodaBow Joule's capabilities and delivery. Its attributes are well-suited for sensational old-time, fast jam, and bluegrass performances. Joule reviewers report pulling ""a great tone"" out of their acoustic fiddles. Others are delighted to finally achieve a particular tone. One CodaBow violinist states, "The violin Joule has just the right weight for the upper and lower strings on my 5-string, and I don't have to work as hard to get the C-string tone I've been looking for." You can have a similar story when you play your violin with the Joule!

A Lifetime of Worry-Free Play

All components susceptible to wear (such as the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate) are made using the best composite materials and carefully designed to ensure a lifetime of worry-free violin play.

Sustainably Crafted

The CodaBow Joule carbon fiber violin bow holds the GlobalBow® designation. This guarantees the bow is free from regulated, endangered, and monitored species (wildlife and plants) and can pass worry-free through international Customs. Practice in Los Angeles, perform in Paris, and play wherever you like when you have a Joule violin bow.
