The development of our bass bows was a truly fascinating experience and led us deeper and deeper into the world of perfect sound and playing characteristics. In the end, it looks like we have untangled the Gordian knot - we managed to produce bass bow sticks of category 9, probably the most perfect bow we have ever made.

But also all the other Arcus bass bows are incredibly open and free sounding and produce almost no noise, making the sound much more singing, and therefore dramatically improve their projection. The elasticity of the sticks matches exactly the elasticity of modern bass strings, so that bouncing bows are very natural and easy to play. The fast response provides a new level of articulation and precision. And, have you too heard of the idea that bass bows should be very heavy? Basic physics tell us that a heavy bow moves slowly and is difficult to push. Advanced physics tells us that they even dampen the vibration of the strings. Unlike the manufacturers of wooden bows, we are free to choose the weight and elasticity for our bows and have found the ideal solution in a design consisting of a relatively heavy head and heel and a very light shaft. Once you have learned how to use such a bow optimally, you will never want to play anything else again. Incidentally, these bows respond so easily that you can play all kinds of strings very well with them, even those that are normally only used for pizzicatto (such as Spirocores).

The length or the German bass bows is 71cm without button, and 77,2 cm including the button. The French bass bows are 69,8 cm without and 72 cm with button.
