This Month's Featured Viola Bow:

"Spectacular." Christian Tetzlaff, concert violinist.

"...outstanding playing characteristics ...and the wonderful quality of sound...." Ricardo Cyncynates, Assistant Concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra, Washington,D.C., USA.

Players around the world are giving rave reviews to the technical possibilities and sound-production potential of ARCUS carbon fiber bows. These bows are uniquely designed with a hollow, carbon fiber shaft that is extraordinarily lightweight. Despite weighing approximately 20% less than a traditional bow, they are capable of producing a rich, full tone, and allow a wide range of overtones to be produced from the instrument. The bows have also proven to reduce fatigue. The flexibility of the stick provides remarkable control of all bowing techniques with virtually no extraneous noise.

Of the several models available from ARCUS, we are currently featuring the Concerto model bows for violin, viola and cello.
