Luma Cello

A Light Cello Bow With a Heavy Response

With a nod to history’s greatest bow makers, the CodaBow Luma cello bow has a beautifully crisp tone that sounds as smooth as it is to hold. Engineered with less weight than other cello bows, the Luma cello bow’s lightweight carbon fiber construction helps provide a quick and easy response for mastering flashy, technical cello passages — from staccato to legato. The melodic tone and responsiveness of the Luma help it provide a balanced sound in more personal settings, mix well in larger ensembles, and are sought by players of all styles, including fiddlers. The Luma cello bow is ideal if you’re looking for a bow that balances character and weight.

Illuminated Cello Performances Start With Luma

A popular theory may be that lighter cello bows can feel less responsive, hard to control, and even jumpy. But we say it’s because they haven’t played with CodaBow’s Luma cello bow. It might pull from the remarkable heritage of history’s best bow makers, but the Luma bow’s design and engineering deviate from tradition in the best ways. Expect the unexpected with the Luma.

The Right Tone With the Perfect Dimensions

Old-fashioned ideas meet new-fashioned technology. A common belief among many cello players is that lightweight bows (especially bows constructed from carbon fiber) can’t measure up to the dimension or color that Pernambuco bows provide. However, the Luma bow is more than just a carbon fiber bow. Its blended acoustic core brings an uncharacteristically large dimension and a shimmering, warm color to life.

Ready for Action

You say jump, and the Luma jumps. The balance and weight of this carbon fiber bow allow it to be as quick and responsive as you want. The Aero Xebony® frog is streamlined to enhance proficiency and attack, while the lightness of the shaft keeps you perfectly poised for wherever the music takes you. This results in a lighter touch and connection that makes it simple to make quick tonal changes. The 3D diamond weaving on the Luma helps make the bow even lighter while delivering the desired flexibility and response.

Built for Speed, Sound, and Fiddling

Fiddlers love how the Luma bow crosses strings effortlessly. “It really plays itself,” reviewers claim. The Luma’s weight and character are optimal for performing country, folk, Irish fiddling, and bluegrass music all day long — and keeping your arm from cramping up! Though other lighter bows may provide less control and response from the strings, the carbon fiber Luma bow stands apart from the rest.

Durable Enough for a Lifetime

The high-wear parts on the Luma bow, like the tip wedge, button bearings, and tip plate, are made from innovative materials and skillfully crafted to make sure you get a lifetime of stress-free play from your bow.

Safe for Traveling Abroad

CodaBow’s carbon fiber Luma bow bears the GlobalBow® trademark. This designation ensures that our bows contain no endangered, monitored, or regulated species (wildlife or fauna) and is able to pass through international Customs without worry. Practice in Miami, perform in Milan, and play your cello wherever you see fit when you’re playing with the lightweight Luma cello bow.
