Elias Guasti began as a student of Horst John, aka John Brazil, as a teenager. Soon he joined with Jose Bottoni, stamping their bows with the well known stamp "Guasti & Bottoni". Then, both Elias and Jose Bottoni started working for Water Violet Bows, where they developed their unique style of bow making. Today they bring their excellent work and classic french-style Pernambuco bows to the L'archet Brasil bow making team.
