Arcus S Series Violin Bows
Arcus S Series Violin Bows offer great strength and agility
with a lively and rapid bounce. The lightest of the Arcus lines at
approx. 48 grams, their brilliant tonality makes them ideally suited
for darker sounding instruments and players seeking projection, clarity
of tone and lightning fast agility.
Arcus P Series Violin Bows
Arcus P Series Violin Bows
offer strength/stiffness combined with a dark tonality. Ideally suited to heavily built, powerful violins, the P series is a good match for instruments with a strong, brilliant sound. Approx. 53 grams.
Arcus T Series Violin Bows
Arcus T Series Violin Bows
are often the best choice for higher-end instruments with a good tonal balance. The T series bow draws out all of the best tonality and characteristics of both the high and low ends of the instrument's range. Approx. 51 grams.
Arcus M Series Violin Bows
Arcus M Series Violin
Bows
are more elastic than any of the other series. As with the T, the M series works well with instruments that are generally well-balanced, tonally. But, for some instruments, the T series can just be too powerful. These violins require a softer touch for best response. In such cases, the M series will bring out a beautiful, "singing" tonality, where other bows may "crush" the sound. Approx. 51 grams.
Arcus Müsing Series Violin Bows
Arcus Müsing Series Violin Bows were specifically designed to meet the needs of players with a budget of under $1,500. They are balanced for a slightly heavier feel and greater stability. Given their pricing structure, they are also an excellent value, i.e. the buyer gets a high degree of performance quality per dollar spent. Approx. 54 grams.
Arcus bows are rated for quality and assigned a corresponding number.
The higher the number, the better the quality of the bow's performance.
Levels 5 and 6 are our best selling bows. The upper level bows offer exceptional playability, a wide and rich palette of tone colors
and a smooth, clear, effortless articulation.
