Arcus Bows, Bridges and Rosin . Arcus bows are used by all standards of musicians, from international soloists to students. These bows give a great sound and are incredibly comfortable to play with. We endeavour to make sure that each musician finds the Arcus bow that best suits their requirements. Arcus rosin is available in light, medium and dark grades and can be mixed together on the bow to produce your ideal sound. Arcus bridges for violin and viola have been specially designed to reduce the time taken during set ups.
Melos Rosin  developed and made by Christos Sykiotis in Greece. Christos is a cellist and combined his knowledge of instruments with natural materials found in Greece to produce Melos rosin.
Pioneer Valley Bow Hair from the USA. We have pleasure in introducing quality bow hair from Erich Husemoller of Pioneer Valley. We have been impressed by their dedication to quality and consistency. This hair is amazing value at the current introductory price. We can only hold the introductory price until the end of December 2008 due to currency changes.
Nilton Music Stands from Sweden. After hearing so much about the Nilton Magic Stand from players in other parts of the world, we decided we had to bring it to musicians in the U.K. It's lightweight, easy to use with it's own quick-lock system, folds up into it's own carry case, and even has a handy shelf to hold essential bits and bobs,(pencils and snacks....)
Keypeg also known as Posture Peg has been developed to alleviate cellist's posture problems. Cellists around the world have benefited from the improved comfort that Keypegs make possible. Used in the US for several years, we thought it was about time cellists in the U.K. also knew about them!
