I'm happy with the CodaBow Prodigy bow, I used it more than a month now before the review.
Amateur intermediate, 5 years, I used three student bows on my Reghin intermediate violin until making the step for the Prodigy. The last bow I felt it quite well, warped insignificantly in AC, but it was producing a "gritty" sound, this is from the resonating frequency of the stick, a bit low. Also, I could not tame the bow to do simply piano and dolce. Of course it was me, but the bow did not help at all. Spicatto was ok-ish, Sautille not starting.
With the Prodigy, dolce is really dolce(sweet), piano it's easy now. The frequency of the carbon stick is much higher than the student bow, that's the sweet sound. Spicatto is ok(I am still working) and Sautille is easy to start and sustain. This bow helped my progress, now I can replicate things also backwards, on the old bow - spicatto, sautille and piani work(still cannot do dolce, because the old bow sounds gritty, this is the bow, not the lack of the skill)
I know that I don't do justice yet to the bow or to the violin, but I feel at least they don't hold me back as I observed with the student bow, there is room for progress.

Very happy

My bow history: I upgraded the bow that came with my budget electriic violin to a £50 carbon fibre Hidersine bow. I was not disappointed - the nicer bow made a real difference.
After a few months of intense playing I decided to move to an acoustic, traditional violin, suitable for advancing students. It came with a £50 wooden bow, and is a delight to play. Over the Summer months I noticed the wooden bow was affected by changing temps and humidity so I decided to buy a good quality fibre carbon bow that would further help my progression.
I set my budget at £300 - £500. After a lot of research I chose the CodaBow Prodigy as a good option - suitable for advancing students, a reputable make, and value for money.
The bow is the same as the Hidersine - same weight & octagonal but I could immediately feel and hear the difference that the better quality bow hair makes. The bow also feels more balanced. The lower notes also have a deeper, mellower sound to them. I am very pleased with it.
I chose Thomann UK as I have bought from them before, the price was competitive and delivery updates are good. The bow arrived on time and was well packaged.

Un archet sans bois tropicaux
Saxbey 05.12.2024
Je me suis tourné vers CodaBow pour une fabrication entièrement sans bois, au grand désespoir de mon archetier. Le vendeur de Burgebrach me l'a vendu comme un archet très réactif et ma professeure le trouve ok. J'en suis pleinement satisfait et ce premier prix est amplement suffisant pour un usage loisir exigeant. La molette pour tendre ou détendre le crin ne nécessite que quelques tours dans un sens ou dans l'autre et j'apprécie cela aussi.
