Arcus S-Series German Style Double Bass Bow

The development of the latest generation of our bass bows was a truly fascinating experience. It now looks like we have disentangled the Gordian knot and found the ideal sound and playing characteristics without the need to make any compromises. The new Arcus bass bows are incredibly open and free sounding and produce almost no noise, which renders the sound much more singing and improves projection dramatically. 
The elasticity of the sticks match the elasticity of modern bass strings precisely so bouncing bows are very natural and easy to play. The fast response provides a new level of articulation and precision.

Arcus S8 double bass bow
In every batch of bass sticks we hope to find one that will make an S8, but that works out only two or three times a year. They are miracle sticks that vibrate endlessly without any resistance or disturbances. When played they are a true revelation that never fails to win the attention of very listener.
