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 Rachel Stonham

I was given this violin to try out while my previous one was being serviced. I wasn’t looking for a new violin at the time but I was immediately taken with the quality of the sound – in particular the range of colours it could make, which was exactly what I was trying to develop in my playing.

After visiting several other makers, I ended up deciding on this one because I felt there was a lot of potential for the sound to develop, and after having it for 6 months I’m still finding even more depth and range.

The service was great and I was surprised at how reasonable the price was – it was a really good experience all round.
