Eugene Sartory

Eugene Sartory

Eugene Nicolas Sartory (1871 - 1946) was a French archetier/ bow maker, taught by his father in Mirecourt, France.

Normally spelled Eugène Sartory.He worked in Paris for Charles Peccatte and Joseph Alfred Lamy before setting up on his own in 1893.He fortified the Voirin model, producing sturdily built bows with strong shafts. Later on Sartory innovated the design of his bows; widening the head and altering the shaft cross-section as well as thickening the shaft above the handle. These changes provided more stability and reliability in the handling.

His bows are marked "E.SARTORY A PARIS". The apex of the trend toward heavy, strong bows was exemplified in the output of Eugene Sartory, who developed a style of bow to which his atelier adhered consistently for decades.

Vigneron and Fetique produced bows that at times could rival a Sartory in terms of strength and handling, but the consistency of Sartory bows has made them a perennial favorite among musicians even if they lack some of the subtlety of older bows. Sartory bows are utterly reliable as playing tools and will satisfy a wide variety of players.

Quotes

"The name Sartory is universally recognized due to the prolific and consistent output from the Sartory atelier. All of these qualities to make Sartory’s among the least difficult bows to sell. Consequently the margin between wholesale and retail pricing is narrower with Sartory bows than with other fine string instruments and bows." - Stefan Hersh [cite journal | author=Stefan Hersh | year= 2003 | month=Spring | title=A Brief History of the Bow as a Playing Tool | journal=Sound Post | volume=vol. 3 | issue=11 | url=http://www.soundpostonline.com/archive/spring2003/page1.htm | accessdate = 2007-05-08]

"Sartory bows are synonimous with reliability and consistency and has become the bow of choice for many professional musicians." - [http://www.filimonovfineviolins.tk Gennady Filimonov]
