Experts generally agree that Eugene Sartory (1871-1946) was the finest bow maker from the late 19^th and the first half of the twentieth centuries.

Sartory worked with Charles Peccatte and especially Alfred Lamy before opening his own workshop in 1889 when he was only 18 years old. He quickly became very successful. His work was very consistent based on a strengthened Voirin model. This bow is typical of his later work with a broader stronger head which he developed for changing playing styles.
