# About the Manufacturer: Eastman Strings
**Eastman Strings** (Eastman Music Company) is one of the most respected and globally recognized manufacturers of modern bowed string instruments. Founded in 1992 by musician Qian Ni, the company has grown from a small workshop into a global industry leader, with its name becoming synonymous with outstanding value and uncompromising quality.
The defining characteristic of Eastman Strings is its dedication to preserving late 19th-century workshop traditions. While many modern brands rely on mass-produced, machine-stamped assembly lines, Eastman violins, violas, cellos, and double basses are still handcrafted today using traditional hand tools and time-honored methods inherited from German and Chinese master luthiers.
### Key Advantages of Eastman Instruments:
* **Traditional Tonewoods:** Every instrument is crafted from select, premium tonewoods — high-quality spruce for the top plates and beautifully flamed maple (Flamme) for the backs and ribs. The wood undergoes an extensive natural seasoning process.
* **Hand-Applied Varnish:** Instruments are finished by hand using multi-layered, traditional oil or spirit varnishes. This not only protects the wood but allows it to vibrate freely, fully unlocking its acoustic potential.
* **A Versatile Range:** Eastman offers instruments tailored for every stage of a musician's journey — from reliable student models (Samuel Eastman series) and advanced step-up options (Jean-Pierre Lupot, Andreas Eastman series) to premium master-level instruments for professionals and orchestral players.
### The Product Range Includes:
* Violins, violas, cellos, and double basses in all standard fractional and full sizes.
* Premium bows (including advanced carbon fiber and traditional pernambuco wood bows).
* Signature lightweight, heavy-duty instrument cases for safe transport.
Eastman Strings instruments are highly recommended by teachers and professional musicians worldwide for their deep, warm tone, excellent responsiveness, and exceptional structural stability under varying climate conditions.
