Amateurs, Students /  Viola

   Since 15 months I play my Viola Concerto now. Getting used to the bow took me only one day. The bow pulls a big sound and very little noise; it sits perfectly in the strings and allows all dynamic shading, up to ponticello.
   I truly welcome the reduced weight: it reduces the strain when I play a long time and it provides an agility in "technical" bowings that I have never experienced in a wooden bow.
   By the way: Occasionally I play with a fine wooden bow, with no problems alternating, because of the interesting differences in the sound.
   I have convinced another violinist, who plays with me in a quartet, regarding the advantages of the Arcus bow. She is also very happy with the one that she bought."

Wolfgang Jacobmeier, Münster

   "I am a rather experienced viola player in several chamber music ensembles and orchestras and I was quite surprised when I first tried an Arcus Concerto of its full sound, lightness and superior handling. Its sounds clearly better than my fine French wooden bow. I especially like how much power you can use at the tip or close to the bridge if a big sound is required - free of any objectionable noise.

  As I am using two different instruments - one rather large modern viola (Stradivari model) and an old Martinus Matthias Fichtl viola of 1739 (Stainer model) I have chosen one Cadenza for the Fichtel, as it makes it sound really sophisticated, while I really like the Concerto with the large, modern viola."
