ARCUS VIOLA BOWS
The power of a cello bow combined with the lightness of a violin bow: Our viola bows free violists from the restrictions of traditional bows. They open up the full potential in the sound of every viola, pulling the most powerful, clear, and rich sound while offering the fastest response and absolutely crisp articulation.
With an Arcus viola bow in your hands, you will begin to discover the possibilities of playing your instrument in a completely new, liberated way and find new avenues into your music.
M SERIES
The M-bows are a perfect fit for all small violas. They draw a warm, full sound which is open and clear, not the least nasal but rich and sonorous with great projection. The elasticity of their sticks is designed to match the shorter, softer strings of smaller instruments. Their weight is similar to traditional violin bows, which provides great playability and comfort, while bearing sufficient mass for bowings that require some impulse.
The M4 is fitted with the most durable and beautiful polished stainless steel parts. It offers great playing characteristics and a very nice sound. It can help improve your play as it delivers precise feedback to the bow hand. Its perfectly clear and transparent sound helps you to play with perfect intonation.
