 Eastman Master Series  Model 605

The Eastman Model 605 combines all the benefits of Eastman's master luthiers' plate tuning techniques with their special German-style multi-layer shaded spirit varnish. The result is a modestly priced master instrument with outstanding projection, tone color, and playability, not to mention beautiful flamed maple and premium spruce tonewoods enhanced by the luminous hand-applied varnish.

Violin Only      $ 1420.00

The centerpiece of the Eastman Master series workshop, our model 905 is crafted by Eastman Strings' most accomplished and experienced makers under the direct guidance of our master luthiers and finished with a striking antique-style oil varnish.

Mr. Zhu's workshop violins are comparable to instruments by other award-winning makers which are quite easily double the price. Details in the carving, glowing patterns in the fine wood and subtle nuances in tone make these instruments true works of art that will be cherished for many years to come.

The tone on this violin is bold and complex, with consistent projection and tone throughout the range of the instrument. 

Full size only.
