Arcus T-Series Viola Bow

About the T-series bows

The T-bows are designed to precisely fit medium sizes violas and the best modern strings. If the string length of your instrument is around 37 cm, they should fit perfectly. The warm and brilliant sound of the T-bows allow to find new sound colours in your instrument. The combination of a low weight and a mass distribution towards the tip and heel provide a fantastic combination of agility and stability.

The stainless steel fitted T4 is a great bow for every player. Its powerful and rich sound opens up the sound of every viola. Its precise playing makes it easy to always improve your playing.

Maybe the T5 will be the bow that finally solves some of the mysteries of issues you have endured by playing with wooden bows or low-tech carbon bows. Now you can play with the ease of a violin bow and the strength of a cello bow. It jumps just the way you want but also sits perfectly on the strings both in pianissimo and fortissimo. Its sound is warm with plenty of brilliance, matching bows that may cost several times as much.
