The Violin Bow
This Sartory violin bow presents a unique opportunity to acquire a fine French bow at a more accessible price. The round pernambuco stick has been expertly repaired with a pernambuco spline at the tip, and the frog and button, while original Sartory work, were married to the current stick. Despite this, the bow plays exceptionally well—smooth, responsive, and capable of producing a rich, vibrant tone with excellent spiccato. With ebony and silver mounting, Parisian eyes, and an ebony adjuster with silver overlay, this bow offers remarkable playability and tonal depth, making it an excellent choice for players seeking a Sartory at a great value.
