Features Approx. 52 Grams Choice of Round or Octagonal, High-Density, Composite Carbon Fiber Shaft Snakewood Frog Stainless Steel Fittings 30-Year Transferable Limited Warranty Arcus Bows Arcus bows are light, agile, and lightning-fast. Recommended for professionals seeking agility, power, and brilliance. Arcus P Series Violin Bows Manufacturer's Description With around 53 grams, the P-bows are our heaviest violin bows. They are of course still much lighter than wooden bows of 19th centuries design and thus notably more comfortable and easy to play with. Still, they provide a very solid and safe feel and perfect control. Their sound is more on the dark side, which is why they are a perfect fit to bright sounding instruments. The resiliency (or elasticity) of the stick is perfectly matched with the best modern strings, which allows to make the best use of them under all circumstances. They are available both with round and octagonal sticks. The octagonal bows feel more lively and agile, while the round ones are more steady and follow the hand very closely. The P-bows work well with every repertoire but they are excel in playing the big violin concertos of the Romantic era. Travel with Your Arcus Bow Arcus bows contain no ivory, tortoiseshell, lizard skin, or other controlled species. You may travel with your Arcus bow with no worries or hassles.
