Andreas Eastman model VL405 violins features a varnish that emulates the exceptional varnishes from master workshops in Markneukirchen, Germany a century ago. These workshops distinguished themselves by developing some of the best varnishes of the modern era, and we have employed their varnish recipes and techniques to achieve old world results. The combination of superior craftsmanship, wood, and artistic finishing results in an instrument of great personality with a powerful, clear tone.
