Comments and Reviews

	LYNN HANNINGS, RENOWNED BOWMAKER AND TEACHER: "Like so many other traditionalists, I turned my nose up at the thought of replacing pernambuco bows with those of carbon-fiber. However, I became aware of the pressing need to reduce world consumption of pernambuco. I wanted to educate my clients and provide them with responsive and responsible alternatives. I believe that every teacher, every shop and every music store has the opportunity to make a difference." (Also see our "Links" and "Bows" pages.)
	ED KLEIN, CELLIST AND TEACHER IN GAINESVILLE FL: "I own one of the first cello CodaBows ever made. I now own three, two of them bought from Gainesville Violins. They are in my opinion equal to the $7,000 - $12,000 French cello bow that I used to play."
	PROFESSOR AARON KROSNICK, JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY FL: "I have had many students from families with moderate incomes. The problem was always one of providing them with an adequate instrument and bow. A fine playing stick at a moderate price was all but unobtainable before the advent of CodaBow with its unbeatable warranty and price. I heartily recommend it not only for its price, but also for its predictably good playing qualities."
	NICOLETTE SOLOMON, SUZUKI STRING SPECIALIST, AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND PRESIDENT, DALLAS SUZUKI INSTITUTE: "Having played with my fine Hill & Sons bow for many years, I was rather skeptical of playing with a CodaBow. However, my CodaBow 'Classic' has surpassed all my expectations! I absolutely enjoy it. Great value for money too. I have spoken to several professionals who have said the same. The CodaBow 'Colours' has become a hot favorite with my students. They really do produce a better sound."
	MATT KING, VIOLIN STUDENT IN TALLAHASSEE FL: "I LOVE my new CodaBow 'Classic'. I went home with a friend to practice and we both played with it and we both agreed that it was the best bow we had ever used, it is very easy to use and I can really get some good strong sound out with it!!!!!"
	RAINE GUTHRIE, VIOLIN AND VIOLA STUDENT IN TALLAHASSEE FL: "CodaBow ROCKS!"
	KATHY NAIL, CUSTOMER IN ALABAMA: "I purchased a CodaBow 'Colours' from my wonderful instrument dealers in Gainesville, Jan and Anna van Rooyen. I compared the bow I had (which I will never pick up again) and the CodaBow. What a difference! It plays so much better. It balances so well. It feels almost weightless compared to my old bulky, heavy bow. It just feels GOOD! Everyone should own at least one of these bows!"
	STRINGS MAGAZINE OCT 2002 TEST: The judges complimented CodaBow's high quality of sound and equally high level of crafsmanship. One judge summed up: "Really nice acoustics and aesthetics and a lush sound". The CodaBow "Classic" was a favorite with nearly every judge.
	HEATHER SCOTT, STRINGS MAGAZINE OCT 2002: "More professional musicians are using carbon fiber bows .... Carbon fiber bows are much more durable than pernambuco bows, they resist warping, are priced economically (especially when compared with their wooden counterparts) and are often very light and well balanced."
