A mid-period Sartory cello bow, 81.8 grams, Raffin certified
A cello bow by Eugène Sartory from 1925, the middle of his mature period and the work most cellists have in mind when they talk about a Sartory.
At 81.8 grams and 695 mm it sits in the range that suits players wanting strength in the lower half without a heavy feel at the tip.
Certified by Jean-François Raffin, 2014. Documentation available to qualified buyers.
Eugène Sartory (1871 to 1946) worked in Paris and is generally regarded as the most influential bow maker of the twentieth century. His sticks are known for strength, precision and consistency, and remain the reference point against which modern bows are measured.
