In an independent review, STRINGS magazine declared our Andreas Eastman, model 305 “a definitive favorite”. Andreas Eastman model VL305 violins are one of our most popular instruments. The strong tonal and visual presence is a result of their materials, with a select spruce top and highly flamed maple back, ribs, and scroll. These vibrant tonewoods are treated with a hand-applied antique-style spirit varnish and include hand-carved ebony pegs, tailpiece and chinrest.
