Archet Bows
Archet is a Japanese bow making company that produces a wide range of fine bows for violins, viola, cellos and double basses. All bows are made in the French bow making tradition and are modeled on the works of the most influential French makers such as Tourte, Peccatte and Sartory. Over the past 25 years Archet have accumulated a very large stock of Pernambuco from Brazil which allows them to select the most suitable materials for each grade of bow.
