VIOLIN VIOLA CELLO BASS
Due to the gaining strength of the Euro against the pound, the prices of Arcus bows will be increasing soon.
Arcus make several different bow models for each instrument. Each carbon fibre bow stick is selected to become one of the models based on its resonance characteristics. For more information about Arcus bows please visit the Arcus website. This website will give you more information about the technology and design behind Arcus bows, and also more feedback from some of the many professional players who now use an Arcus. All feedback is given freely by players.
Arcus design and make carbon fibre bows that not only give exceptional comfort and purity of sound, but also to avoid hand and arm fatigue and pain.
Arcus found that most traditional bows had the same base resonance as the human hand and arm and these low non-musical vibrations were responsible for, at best tiredessness in the bowing arm, and at worst inflammation over time. Arcus designed their bows to eliminate these non-musical vibrations. Many players report a more relaxed playing style and the ability to play comfortably for longer with an Arcus bow.
All Arcus bows are made by hand in Austria.
When you have your Arcus bow rehaired, please make sure that your rehairer follows the Arcus rehair guidelines which can be found on the Arcus website.
We also supply a hair gauge which will ensure you have exactly the right amount of hair on your Arcus bow. £ 28.50 RRP
