Arcus M Series Cello Bows

Manufacturer's Description

If you are looking for a bow that enhances the warmth in the sound of your instrument, an Arcus M is most probably the right bow. It works really well with all smaller celli that are often a bit brighter in sound. The M-bows draw a very full, warm and rich sound which is also clear and provides good brilliance. They are good for the entire repertoire and provide great comfort, so that even after long hours of playing the bow arm still feels light and relaxed.

Travel with Your Arcus Bow

Arcus bows contain no ivory, tortoiseshell, lizard skin, or other controlled species. You may travel with your Arcus bow with no worries or hassles.

Support IPCI with Your Purchase

Help preserve the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, where Pernambuco wood (Caesalpinia Echinata) is grown. A portion of the proceeds from every bow we sell is donated to the International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative. To learn more about IPCI and how you can help, please visit www.ipci-usa.org.

Please note: We obtain some Arcus models, as needed, from the US Arcus distributor. We therefore do not have up-to-the-minute stock information available, here.

Arcus M5 Cello bow review

I got three Arcus cello bows on trial, M5, M6 and M7. Arcus cello bows are slightly longer than a wood bow. At 72 grams, the M Series cello bows feel much lighter than a Penambuco wood bow, which I like for chamber music, but it has lots of power in reserve for orchestra playing too. The M5 draws a strong and mellow sound, which is just right on my bright sounding cello. It is subtle in pianissimos, astonishingly easy in fortissimos but it does take some time to get used to the different feel. If you can't afford but want the agility and strenght of an old French master bowm, get an Arcus M5 bow, it's well worth the price.

Arches M5 Carbon Fiber Cello Bow

The ARCUS M5 bow generates a full, warm sound and works well with my cello which is a copy of a smaller body Guadagni Cello having a naturally brighter sound. This carbon fiber bow seems to be well balanced and is very comfortable for the right hand. The lighter weight presents no problems.
