High-quality, Chinese-made student instrument. This model is laminated, 3/4 size. Specs are available on
Eastman's site.
Was purchased from and setup by luthier Lisa Gass of LA Bassworks in 2009 for my 13-year-old daughter, who decided that orchestra isn't for her after one year. (Sigh.) Is in near-new condition; there two insignificant scratches on the back near the bottom - see the detail photo.
The fingerboard and tailpiece are ebony; tailpiece hanger is aircraft cable. Lisa told me the strings were upgraded, but I'm not sure what they are. (For you string geeks, they're sort of blue/violet on both ends, with colored tips at the peg end.)
Includes stock Eastman bag (nice quality) and an upgraded French bow.
