Arcus Bows

Arcus Carbon fibre Violin bows are hand made in Austria. These guys take an extremely technical approach to making these bows. {'Vorsprung-durch-tecknic' would be their motto if it hadn't already been used by someone else!} All their bows have a raw carbon fiber grey finish........they believe that the pigment adversely effects the playing quality of the bow. And who knows ..... they may be right ! The really different thing about them though, is that they are all made very lightweight but with enough resilience in the stick to produce a good full tone. So once you get used to the lightness, you can achieve better results with less effort, and with less strain on the bow hand and arm. There's one here especially for 5 stringers, my Octave violins, and any other violin. Have a look at the E4 below. It's the one with the Star on the frog. I love it !!!

I am able to get any of the Arcus Models

Arcus E4
Here's a new bow from Arcus: the E4.

They recommend it for 5 string violins and Octave violins..

It weighs 60gms [average violin bow weight] but is resilient enough to carry extra hair. This makes it very versatile, so you can use it on your violin, 5 stringer, viola and Octave violin, if you are lucky enough to have such a collection !

It's an excellent bow that will draw a big sound out of more or less anything !!


Priced at £599.00 it's a great all rounder.
