Independent shopping perspective
Eastman’s 15-inch VA305 step-up viola outfit combines a carved spruce top with carved maple back and sides, finished in shaded antiqued-style spirit varnish. The maple extends to the ribs and scroll, with the wood flame brought forward by the hand-applied finish. Ebony is used for the fingerboard, pegs, tailpiece, and chinrest. The specified outfit also pairs the viola with a BA301 Series carbon-fiber bow and Despiau 1 Tree bridge.
