When my granddaughter was just graduating to s decent violin, but was playing in student orchestras, it seemed to me to be a good idea to start her with a decent CF bow, as so much can go wrong in a pit full of kids. Always nice to have a backup bow, as well. We got a Jon Paul Arpege viola bow for a ridiculous low price from ebay not as stiff as I'd prefer, but again it makes good music. It's an interesting bow, with the adjustable camber and all, and seemed to be worth the purchase for that reason alone, though it does pull a nice tone. We bought a discontinued Spiccatto violin bow a few years ago the price was right, and the bow man at the shop didn't care for the two he had left in stock.
Even I called Arcus a magic bow because my wrong bow arm got fixed only because I'm using this bow! It is light weighted CF bow but it produces better tone than any other wooden bows and CF bows I've used.
Arcus M4, like what Jim Dorans is using, is more comfortable in hand due to the design.
Arcus M series are round only bows with octagonal form inside. When I held this Arcus bow in my hand I just knew I wanted it and I dared taking a risk that I had to get used to this for about a week, as my ex teacher already told me about. I had never been impressed with any other CF bows before until I had Arcus in my hand, it's designed to be comfortable in my hand, even I'm not impressed with Coda. The next thing is, you can not decide if this brand is the bow you're looking for only by trying out at shop. Arcus P series weigh 55 grams and the S ones weigh 52 grams. I meant, when I just used it for the first time I had to get used for about a week because this bow doesn't need much pressure and it's lighter than another CF bows (light CF bows, in general, weigh 60 grams). The thing is, with this brand you need to get used first. it weighs 58 grams (all M series of this brand weigh 58 grams).
