Model 305 & 405
In an independent review, STRINGS magazine declared our Andreas Eastman,
model 305 "a definitive favorite". The lightly distressed antique style varnish shades from dark red-brown
to golden brown. These instruments are visually and tonally appealing. The model 405 features a traditionally hand-applied
antique style varnish shaded from dark amber-brown to light golden brown. The combination of superior craftsmanship,
wood, and artistic finishing, results in an instrument of great personality with a powerful, clear tone.

Model 605
This viola is of outstanding quality and value. Top-quality flamed maple
and aged spruce, highly detailed workmanship, and lightly antiqued hand-applied varnish shaded from dark orange-brown
to a lighter yellow-brown. Excellent tone - rich and powerful with a pleasing complexity.
