Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they've never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players — both students and professionals alike — searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they're looking for from Eastman.
