This Arcus S5 carbon fiber viola bow is very lightweight at 55g. It is virtually indestructible and is perfect for playing outdoor gigs, as a second bow, or for students in high school or undergraduates at music school.  I have used this bow for 3 years, including for professional outdoor gigs and auditions. It is very easy to play with and produces a full sound and a wide range of tonal colors.  It is a well-balanced bow and has a silver tip for counterbalance, making off-the-string strokes very easy to do.    Though it's marketed as a viola bow, at 55g, it would also work for many violinists and for musicians who play fiddle or electric violin/viola.    This bow has been well cared for and is in excellent used condition.  It was appraised in 2013 at $1575.  As is to be expected with use, the thumb leather has some light wear on the underside, and the bow could use a rehair.  As such, I'm willing to accept $900 for it.Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about this item.  Thanks so much for shopping with me!
