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.Andreas Eastman VA200 Intermediate Viola Features: 16-inch step-up viola ideal for advancing musicians Made from solid tonewoods which have been aged for enhanced tonality and resonance Hand-carved spruce top with flamed maple back and ribs Ebony fingerboard with boxwood pegs and chinrest Boxwood tailpiece with fine tuners for the A string Shaded Spirit Varnish for enhanced detail and beauty Set up with D’Addario Helicore strings with multi-stranded steel core SpecificationDetail Type Viola Size 16" Level Intermediate Finish Shaded Spirit Varnish Top Material High Grade Spruce Back & Sides Material High Grade Maple Purfling Hand-inlaid Fingerboard Material Ebony Pegs Boxwood Fine Tuners A String Bridge Material Despiau 1 Tree Tailpiece Boxwood Chin Rest Boxwood Strings D'Addario Helicore Bow Sold Separately Case/Gig Bag Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
