For over twenty years I have been a huge admirer of this great maker’s output, at first his bows confused me as they look identical to Sartory. This made sense when I subsequently learnt that he worked for Sartory from 1902-1934.
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.
Easy payment terms can apply to this bow.

You get the sense that you have something in reserve when using this bow. The balance Sartory creates is wonderful to behold, especially so in this case.
