Here is a delightful late Sartory sadly damaged on it's return from Paris for certification, this meant a new beautiful replica head had to be made using the original as a template. Late bows of this type of pernambuco are extremely highly sought after as this particular wood and concept design wise is a joy to use, suffusing several different aspects you would expect to find in a bow by this maker.

I am truly delighted to offer this bow for sale, especially since I have known this bow since owning it as a young player thirty years ago! I sold it (a foolish move) in the 1990's to an established chamber player and promptly regretted the sale. It was then passed down to the son, also a fine chamber musician and recently returned to my collection.
