Distinguished old-world varnish

The Andreas Eastman model VL405 violin features a head-turning antiqued spirit varnish derived from the finishes used by master German violin makers in the early part of the 20th century. Many violin aficionados consider these varnishes to be the best of the modern era, and Eastman has reproduced this magical recipe with astounding accuracy. Players searching for a violin with authentic old-world charm will revel in every detail of the VL405.

Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992

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.
