CODABOW JOULE - André Cameron tries the CODABOW JOULE for viola. Meditation by Massenet

André Cameron tries the new Joule Viola Bow by CODABOW
This was recorded backstage of the Grand Auditorium of the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon Portugal. This is NOT a recital. I just wanted to show everyone my magnificent new Joule bow by CODABOW. I have been playing for many many years and I can truly say that this is the BEST bow that I have ever played. The sound quality is rich and full. It is also capable of the silkiest pianissimo and the most aggressive fortissimo. I will never go back to wood again...

agree

[@gregmonks9708]

What make is your 18" viola, and which strings do you use? If I may ask.

[@andrearchiecameron]

@@gregmonks9708, in this video I was playing a Giovanni Dollenz viola. 17 inches. Strings were Larsen A, Helicore D an G, Spirocore C. My 18 inch viola is by Ma Zhibin of Shanghai. Same strings.

@@andrearchiecameron i just have 2 weeks and i love it. joule is great

[@Bbzije1]

that was perfect

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It makes bowing on the Viola just like Butter, because of how the weight is distributed

[@andrearchiecameron]

It is not that heavy. The balance is different however. From my experience it gives a superb legato but also strong, firm attacks at the frog. It is GREAT for double stops.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@andrearchiecameron It's actually slightly heavier which makes bowing on the Viola (along with Medium Tension Helicore Viola Strings plus they also make a High E for 5 String Violas, Wittner composite tailpiece that doesn't have fine tuners, Wittner Chin rest and Wittner fine tune pegs along with a Stringing crank to crank them) like Butter.

@@andrearchiecameron The Frog is made out of a Synthetic Ebony called Xebony and it rocks because Ebony is becoming scarce.

[@andrearchiecameron]

I absolutely LOVE the frog!!!

[@andrearchiecameron]

@@RockStarOscarStern634, did you see my other Joule video playing Hindemith? It shows the other side of the Joule bow. Fast bows at the frog and double stops.
