Lecture - THE BOWS OF EUGENE SARTORY

 

Eugene Sartory (1871-1946) was an influential bow maker from France, and his bows are the bow of choice for many professional musicians. Thus, his work is of great interest for both musicians and bow makers, who represent two of the main targets of Mondomusica New York.

Isaac Salchow: Isaac Salchow began his apprenticeship in 1992 with the “Dean of American Bow Making”: Isaac’s grandfather, William Salchow. From the beginning, Isaac was drawn to the unrivaled playability and aesthetics of the Old French Masters. After years of detailed observation of various working styles, as well as association with many of the world’s top musicians, Isaac has become one of the most sought-after experts, bow makers, dealers, and lecturers worldwide. Together with Stephan Jansen, Isaac founded the French Bow Research Institute®, which is taking advantage of today’s scientific innovations in order to bring traditional expertise into the future.
