Monique Poullot

sku Product SKU:  POULLOT-VLN

Several examples. For more than 20 years, we have been the exclusive representatives of Monique Poullot’s bows in the United States. Her training can be traced back to the bow making school in Mirecourt run by Bernard Ouchard, as her first teacher was a graduate of the program. Well steeped in the traditional methods of the great French school, she has continued perfecting her craft with such masters as the renowned Stephane Tomachot. These bows are a great value for the price. Her wood selection is first rate, consistently rich in tonal properties and flexible across the strings. Her bows are excellent for any player looking for a good, modern French bow at an affordable price.

Arcus P5

sku Product SKU:  ARCUS-P-VLN

The Arcus high-density carbon fiber stick is 10 times stronger than a traditional wood bow and also immune to changes in humidity. Its surface is scratch-proof. These bows will never bend or lose their camber. The metal bearings protect the stick against the screw and ensure its ease of function. Arucs offers a 30 year warranty for the stick.

Weighing around 53 grams, the P-bows are Arcus's heaviest violin bows. They are still much lighter than wooden bows of 19th centuries design and thus notably more comfortable and easier to play. Their sound is more on the dark side, which is why they are a perfect fit to bright sounding instruments. The resiliency (or elasticity) of the stick is perfectly matched with the best modern strings, which allows to make the best use of them under all circumstances. The P-bows work well with every repertoire but they excel in playing the big violin concertos of the Romantic era. This stick is round and silver-mounted.
