Andreas Eastman VA305 Antiqued Viola Setup with Thomastik Dominant Strings.

Andreas Eastman 305 Series.
Rated a "Definitive Favorite" by
Strings Magazine last year.
Great sound, superb value.

In the Andreas Eastman master workshop, they are focused on a small number of very important things:
• Quality tonewoods
• Outstanding hand-craftsmanship
• Artistic traditional varnishes
It’s a short list, but it includes all of the factors important in ensuring that their instruments are the best sounding and most beautiful, responsive, reliable step-up instruments available. Their master workshop has no power tools; our Luthiers use the techniques and tools of European workshops of the 19th century—because some things just can’t be improved.

Players and teachers recognize in the model 305 an instrument with a strong tonal and visual personality. These are the qualities that make it one of our most popular models.

Features include:

Entirely hand-crafted from solid tonewoods

Select spruce top and highly flamed maple back, ribs, and scroll

Hand-applied antique-style spirit varnish

Hand-carved boxwood pegs, tailpiece and chinrest with ebony trim

Strong, clear tone

Nicely set up with Helicore Strings

Stradivari pattern is standard (Tertis wide pattern no longer available)

Available in sizes 17", 16 1/2", 16", 15 1/2", 15", 14", 13" and 12"

Recent customer feedback: "The Eastman Strings viola is the friendliest and most rewarding viola I have ever played. It has a warm and earthy tone which is reliable from the top to the very bottom. The instrument is very comfortable, easy to play, and has the feel of an ‘older’ instrument. The craftsmanship is superb and never fails to grab the attention of other musicians. This viola has served me well in many different styles and environments. It has adapted to bluegrass, folk, and classical with minimal effort. It has proven reliable on the road under punishing conditions—it has never let me down. It also delivers a fine tone in the recording studio, much to the delight of recording engineers. I heartily recommend the Eastman Strings model 305 viola to players from all walks of life—it is a superb professional instrument." Eamon Mcloughlin www.thegreencards.com
