Independent shopping perspective
In its 16.5-inch format, the VA405 Andreas Eastman student viola outfit combines a hand-carved premium spruce top with highly flamed maple back and sides. The antiqued spirit varnish is built up in multiple layers, creating a shaded appearance across the tonewoods and accompanying the model’s free, ringing sound. An ebony fingerboard, Despiau 2 Tree bridge, and BA302 woven carbon-fiber bow are specified. It is an outfit whose size, wood selection, finish, and bow are all explicitly defined.
