Thanks, Michael. I truly enjoy your videos. You provide helpful information for an educated purchase. I appreciate your honesty in this video. I’ve had the chance to try out a coda bow joule before and loved the weight, feel, and response of the bow even on my student level instrument it felt great. So coda bow holds a high regard for me, although as an adult amateur beginner, it’s just way out of my price range, a future luxury perhaps. On the subject of playing, have you and Pierre Holstein ever talked about making some recordings together? Not just videos but actual studio recordings.
How does the Escent compare to the C5? Also, the Diamond GX seems to have been promoted as a professional bow, but for $100 dollars more the Escent isn’t. That seems odd.
