Isaac Salchow began his apprenticeship in 1992 with the “Dean of American Bowmaking”: 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, bowmakers, dealers, and lecturers worldwide.  

In 2009, he took over the Salchow business and enjoys continuing the family tradition of bowmaking in New York City.
