Arcus bows are high-performance carbon fibre bows crafted in Germany for professional string players seeking precision, clarity, and reliability. Their unique hollow carbon stick design offers exceptional responsiveness and a lighter feel, reducing fatigue during long playing sessions. Unlike traditional wooden bows, Arcus bows are impervious to changes in humidity and temperature, ensuring consistent performance in any climate. With the future of Pernambuco wood under threat from increased international protections, carbon bows offer a secure, travel-friendly alternative. Each Arcus stick comes with a 30-year warranty, making them a durable and future-ready choice for modern, travelling musicians.
