Arcus M-Series Viola Bow

The M-bows are a perfect fit for all small violas. They draw a warm, full sound which is open and clear, not the least nasal but rich and sonorous with great projection. The elasticity of their sticks is designed to match the shorter, softer strings of smaller instruments. Their weight is similar to traditional violin bows, which provides great playability and comfort, while bearing sufficient mass for bowings that require some impulse. -------------------------- Arcus M4 viola bow The M4 is fitted with the most durable and beautiful polished stainless steel parts.
