Eugene Sartory circa 1905

Here is a beautiful Sartory, stamped twice with original fittings. The bow has a clavette repair to the head and is further secured by a small binding. Due to the dark nature of the wonderful Pernambuco it is actually difficult to see the repair, utterly secure it allows the player on a budget to own and enjoy a first class bow by the greatest maker from the last century.

Weighing 61g, in a recent recording of Enescu's third sonata it was interesting to hear how this bow out performed against a first class Dominique Peccatte bow.
