Violinbows

Special Models and earlier Series

~ A-Series ~

The A-bows are as light as the S-bows, but their sticks are a little more flexible. They draw an especially open and clear sound which is a great match to many lighter built old instruments. Their easy handling and agility make them the ideal bows for all baroque and classic repertoire.
Weight: ca. 48 gram. Round sticks

~ C-Series ~

We have desinged these bows to offer the special qualities of our bows at a very favourable price. We have cut costs only in the outfit, which is made in nickel and stainless steel. Both their sound and play is perfectly balanced. They are available with classic cut or with lighter frogs and a range of different weights. They are ideal student bows. Some professional players who purchased them originally as a backup bow now use them as their primary bows. Especially the C5 is a true concert bow with a gorgeous sound.

~ E4 and Vega ~

The heavy C- and F-strings of five or six-stringed violins require the strength of viola sticks - but we also want to maintain the agility of violin bows, so they should not be too heavy. The Vega and E4 fulfil these requirements perfectly. Their outfit and design is a great fit for traditional violins as well as fancy electric instruments.

Weight: ca. 52 to 55 g. Round and octagonal sticks

~ Cadenza, Concerto, Sinfonia, Sonata ~

The initial series of violin bows was made in three generations. The first bows left our workshop in 1999 with black painted sticks and no engraving. In 2001 the ARCUS brand was engraved. The frogs were cut in the traditional square form.
Weight: ca. 47 to 51 g. Round and octagonal sticks

From 2003 on we stopped painting the sticks. The model name was engraved. To improve the balance all the bows received the slanted, lighter frog that was initially designed for the Sinfonia.
From to 2004 to 2007 we made the third version of these violin bows. The stick got a little slimmer in the upper half and the camber got a bit deeper. For most players this was a very welcome improvement in the feel, as it offered more stability on the strings without loosing any agilty. The bounce also became more easily to controlled.
Weight: ca. 48 to 50 g. Round and octagonal sticks
