Arcus Series 5

If you want to spend under $2,000 you should consider a test drive of the Arcus M5 and T5.  The playing and tonal characteristics are different, but so is each player’s ability.  Trial is the only way to see if one will work for you.  M5 target weight is 75 grams, T5 target weight 72 grams.

  • Revelle Raven

    Raven is our entry level bow ($195) which serves new students or those on a budget, and is an excellent backup bow when the cellist needs a better bow for their advancing skills.  The bow has a solid black graphite-fiber shaft which cannot warp or lose camber, and we have not experienced a comparable wood bow at this price. Weight usually 78-80 grams.  If you’re here in SC, the stamp on the frog looks a little like our Gamecock!  When a good rosin (we like Kolstein medium) is used, it really produces a strong sound.
