Arcus M8 Silver 935 Round Viola Bow

Mounted in sterling silver, the M8 has a timeless, classic look. It offers the same instant response and warm, powerful sound as the gold-mounted version, at a considerably more accessible price.

The M-bows are a perfect fit for all small violas. They draw a warm, full sound which is open and clear, not the least nasal but rich and sonorous with great projection. The elasticity of their sticks is designed to match the shorter, softer strings of smaller instruments. Their weight is similar to traditional violin bows, which provides great playability and comfort, while bearing sufficient mass for bowings that require some impulse.

All Arcus Bows are made in Germany.

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.
