Brilliant and powerful. First choice for soloists and large, dark-voiced instruments.
The S cello bows produce a brilliant and uniquely powerful sound. The first choice for many soloists. Especially suited for large cellos modeled after Goffriller or Montagnana, where more projection and clarity are needed. Approx. 68 g — the lightest and stiffest ARCUS cello bows.
Available with round stick (steadier, follows precisely) or octagonal stick (very lively, practically bounces on its own).
String note: S bows reach their full character with Thomastik Spirocore Tungsten and Versum strings. With very bright, focused strings, the sound can become too narrow.
The models
S4 to S6: From advancing to professional level.
S7: The heart of the lineup — enormous dynamic range.
