Arcus M Series Cello Bows

Manufacturer's Description

If you are looking for a bow that enhances the warmth in the sound of your instrument, an Arcus M is most probably the right bow. It works really well with all smaller celli that are often a bit brighter in sound. The M-bows draw a very full, warm and rich sound which is also clear and provides good brilliance. They are good for the entire repertoire and provide great comfort, so that even after long hours of playing the bow arm still feels light and relaxed.

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.

Support IPCI with Your Purchase

Help preserve the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil, where Pernambuco wood (Caesalpinia Echinata) is grown. A portion of the proceeds from every bow we sell is donated to the International Pernambuco Conservation Initiative. To learn more about IPCI and how you can help, please visit www.ipci-usa.org.

Please note: Although we stock some models, with over 100 variations, we are unable to physically stock them all. We, therefore, obtain many Arcus bows from the US Arcus distributor, as needed. As such, we do not have up-to-the-minute stock information available, here. In the event that your selected bow is not immediately available, we'll let you know within one business day, and allow you to cancel, backorder, or select a different model.   Please note that payment is authorized at time of order, which can result in a hold to your payment account. Authorization holds cannot be canceled and may take up to 10 days to expire. If you'd like to confirm stock prior to placing your order, please call or email and we'll be happy to help. Thank you for your understanding!

A word about Arcus bow winding: Arcus has two types of winding - a plain silver/gold winding and a winding with alternating black and silver/gold (a.k.a. imitation whalebone). Please note that the winding is not predictable, but is chosen by Arcus for each particular bow to achieve an ideal balance. Regardless of what is pictured in this stock photo, your bow may come with a different style of winding. If you have a preference, please feel free to contact us about it prior to placing your order.

Secure Tone + Nimble Technique!

I tried the M5, M6 & S6. After owning the S5 for some time, I finally got a sound post adjustment and strings that tamed my new cello's brightness. The M provides a more core sound to come through, while the S seems to highlight the overtones, I wouldn't say brightly but just more expansive sounds that tend to ride on top of the creamy center that I was looking forward to improving on my instrument. It's amazing to find these varying virtues in the few grams of difference between the M- and S-series, especially given that both allow one's technique to really fly. Thanks, Fisher Violins, for this opportunity! I could have spent many more months--or yrs--trying to 'wait' for my cello to 'break in.' But the combination of sound post, bow and strings evaluation really came through.

Arcus M6 Cello bow review

I got three Arcus cello bows on trial, M5, M6 and M7. Arcus cello bows are slightly longer and at 72 grams, the M Series are lighter than a Penambuco wood bow. I prefer the light weight for chamber music but it also has lots of power in reserve for orchestra playing. The M6 draws a smooth and powerful sound, which is just right on my bright sounding cello. It is subtle in pianissimos and pleasantly easy in fortissimos. It does take some time to get used to the different feel than a good Pernambuco bow. If you can afford but don't want to dish out over $10k for an antique French bow, an M6 is well worth the price.
