Violinbows

The S-bows are our lightest and strongest violin bows. Their sound is big, brilliant, powerful and round, but more bright than warm. They are the perfect choice for most soloists and also great for jazz, rock and folk music. The S-bows are a great match for all dark sounding instruments. They are available with round sticks that play more steady and feel very steady and octagonal sticks that play rather agile and lively. For many years the S-series bows are our bestseller and you can find them in all the great orchestras around the world.

The S7 is where the Arcus bows are in a world of their own. No traditional bow can match its sound and play, offering an almost unfair advantage if you use it in a competition or audition. But even if you play only at home or in a private chamber music group you will love it for its easy handling, its comfort and its amazing sound.
