Arcos Brazil is comprised of a select group of makers, incuding internationally recognizable names such as D.Carvalho, T.Surrage and Floriano Schaeffer's atelier. These bows are supple and strong , while retaining a flexiblity that makes them capable of great subtlety. The prices range from the mid $400's for the entry level pernambuco bows, to nearly $3,000 for the gold mounted bows with the finest wood selection and the highest craft.
