Arcus S8 Gold 585 Octagonal Cello Bow

The S8 is an icon in our product line. Its sound is a big step ahead of conventional bows and it plays much lighter, faster, and powerfully. It is the perfect bow for players who strive to enthral a large audience, win the battle with the pianist, or want to win an audition or competition.

The brilliant tone and high elasticity of the S-series make them the ideal bows for large and dark-sounding instruments such as Goffriller and Montagnana models. Their superior projection and power allow them to penetrate the most demanding concert halls and take on any pianist or violinist who might be carried away. The S-bows with octagonal sticks are particularly bouncy, while the round bows follow your hand with utmost precision.

All Arcus Bows are made in Germany.
