Arcus P5 Silver 935 Round Viola Bow

The P5 combines excellent handling with a lovely, full sound, making it a great choice for large violas at a moderate price. With its fine craftsmanship and elegant outfit, it compares well with traditional bows costing considerably more.

The P-bows with their very strong stick and balanced sound are the perfect match for all large violas with a string length around 38 cm (15") and over. They draw a sound that is clear and strong, rich in overtones and projects perfectly. We make them with octagonal and round sticks. The octagonal bows feel very lively and agile and bounce almost automatically. The round one's have a more steady feel and follow the movements of the right hand with utmost precision.

All Arcus Bows are made in Germany.
