Eastman Strings is dedicated to the Golden Age of string making artistry.
In
17th and 18th century Italy, golden age violin makers recognized the
exceptional quality of tonewoods from the Carpathian Mountains of
Eastern Europe. Prized for their ringing tone and even grain structure,
Carpathian spruce and maple are still regarded as among the best in the
world for instrument making. Designed and crafted expressly for
Marshall Music,
the violin,
viola, cello and bass makers at Eastman Strings follow in
the tradition of European workshops from more than a century ago.
Declining power tools in favor of knives, chisels and gouges,
these
talented woodcarvers create instruments that rival their forbears for
sound and beauty.
