Arcus P8 Silver 935 Round Violin Bow

Many powerful sounding violins are also a bit on the bright side. For those we have developed our P-series bows. Their especially resilient stick allows to easily catch any heavy G-string and to play double stops in fortissimo without the stick touching down on the strings. To make them draw a warmer, deeper sound, we have added some weight which lowers the tuning of the bow. They are still significantly lighter than traditional bows, so they keep their advantage in agility and speed. The P-bows with octagonal sticks are especially lively and bounce almost automatically while the round version are especially steady and follow the hand precisely.

The P8 lends every instrument a full, rich and dark sound that still doesn’t lack brilliance. It is as powerful as it is sensitive. The silver mounted P8 offer exactly the same fantastic sound and playability as its gold mounted brother. That it comes across a little more modest may be just what your like.
