Paesold - Silver master viola bow after E. Sartory, Mathias Thoma

German three-star silver viola bow after Sartory from Paesold "Mathias Thoma"

The French classical craftsman Eugène Sartory had an influence on German bow making that far exceeded the works of his great student, Hermann W. Prell (1875-1925). This viola bow is another eloquent testament to the impact Sartory had; it was crafted by an unknown German bow maker at Paesold in the second half of the 20th century. The sophisticated, precise and character-rich sound of this faithful Sartory model demonstrates a phenomenal clarity, brilliance and warmth. The delicate and finely detailed nuances of the viola bow are evident in the genuine silver-mounted ebony frog with its Parisian eye and elegant head; it has its balance point is centered. The viola bow is offered in good condition, ready to play, and we recommend it to match most violas.
