Violin bows by Arcos Brasil

Since being introduced to the Arcos Brasil line of bows, I have been incredibly impressed with them.

The honest truth is, the quality is simply fantastic. They are very refined throughout their range displaying an excellent selection of materials and all importantly, they play beautifully.

For peace of mind, they also do lots of tree planting for their sustainability programme.

A testimonial from Josep Maria Fargas, Spain

Our son Roc liked Edward’s viola from the very instant he played the first note. He was very captivated by its sonority and profound sound.
