Arcus M-Series
Hollow carbon fiber bow series (violin, viola, cello)
The Arcus M-Series is a line of hollow carbon fiber bows with somewhat more flexible sticks, giving a particularly warm and round tone and versatile all-around handling that suits lighter instruments. Arcus describes them as supporting each step of a player's technical development, making them well suited to orchestral players, students, and amateurs. Offered for violin, viola, and cello in several performance grades.

Arcus
Arcus is a German carbon fiber bow maker founded by Bernd Müsing, who began researching bows in 1995 and first sold Arcus bows in 1999. Based in Würzburg, Germany, the company applies engineering and materials know-how from Müsing's earlier bicycle-frame manufacturing to bow making. Arcus bows use a signature very thin-walled, hollow carbon fiber stick with slightly reduced camber, making them notably lighter yet higher in tension than traditional wooden bows and optimized for modern strings. Every bow is made entirely by hand for violin, viola, cello, and double bass, with the current range organized into the T, S, P, M, and G series.
