Stamped E.Sartory - Violin bow - France

Good old 4/4 violin bow made of Pernambuco wood, with the brand mark E.SARTORY A PARIS, it is presumed to be of French origin. The bow is in good condition and has only minor signs of wear. It has recently been restored, with new hair, silver wound wrapping and a snakeskin winding. The bow weighs 58 g, with a total length of 74.7 cm, the diameter of the round bow stick is 73 cm; the playable hair length is 65 cm and the balance lies at the ideal measure of 25.5 cm. The frog is made of ebony, with a mother-of-pearl Parisian eye inlaid; the edge wear on the sliding edges is minor, but does not affect playing in any way. The metal parts are nickel silver. This bow yields a balanced, full-bodied and rich overtone resonance. Carefully packaged, it is shipped with Colissimo, trackable online.


As for violins and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed', they include pictures of their certificates and therefore represent a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, origin and age than instruments described only as 'labelled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we do not provide any warranty.
