Overview
★ ★ The Pinnacle of Japanese Craftsmanship Rooted in the Traditional French Style
Bearing the distinctive hand-stamped double-star hallmark, J. Thibouville-Lamy Master Series bows represent the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, seamlessly blending precision and artistry with the enduring legacy of French bow-making.
Handcrafted in a specialist Japanese workshop established in 1983, each Master Series bow draws on decades of study of the traditional French style, inspired by historic bows from the great ateliers of the 19th century. The result is a perfect synthesis of strength, stability, and elegance - crafted for players who value expressive nuance, impeccable balance, and soulful resonance.
Made from the finest Pernambuco, seasoned for over 20 years, and fitted with a fully ‘925’ silver-mounted ebony frog, goat-skin grip, Mongolian stallion horsetail bow hair, and 935 silver and silk lapping, these bows offer exceptional poise, comfort, and tonal depth - delivering a responsive and commanding playing experience across the full range of the instrument.

About Eugene Sartory:
Eugene Nicolas Sartory, born 1871 in Mirecourt, France first apprenticed with his Father as a bow-maker but went on to work with Charles Peccatte (Dominique Peccatte’s nephew) and Joseph Alfred Lamy, or ‘Père Lamy’ as he was often known.
In 1889, Sartory set up his own workshops where he developed his now famous bow-style. A heavier, strongly built bow with a slightly wider head and shaft section which provided great stability and reliable handling. These bows were built consistently for decades and became universally recognised for their quality and playability by musicians of all types.
