ARCUS CELLO BOWS
The use of endpins and steel strings have changed the playing and the sound of the cello in quite a dramatic way and has given it added brilliance and power. The Arcus cello bows are the first bows that allow you to use this potential completely. Their sticks are both much stronger than wooden sticks and lighter. This provides ultimate agility and elegance, an effortless playing, instant response on all strings and significantly improved playing comfort.
They pull a clean and open sound that can be very soft and extremely powerful. The sound in the upper registers is brilliant and shows a beautiful range of overtones.
M SERIES
If you are looking for a bow that enhances the warmth and depth in your instrument, the Arcus M-bows are certainly the right choice. They work great with all smaller models like Stradivari or Ruggeri types, as well as all stronger and heavier built instruments and 7/8 sized celli. They play with great ease and precision, offering the typical qualities of all other Arcus series bows.
The M4 is like a second teacher that helps to find the way to a perfect intonation and a relaxed bow hold. This becomes possible through the clear and variable sound and the precise function of the stick. These are particular qualities that are normally impossible to find in this price range.
