It’s pitched in Bb and has a comfortable 0.504-inch bore that offers superior breath support and facilitates proper technique. The EBH 311’s yellow brass body and 8.37-inch bell create a warm and resonant tone that slots perfectly into the school band.

Rugged and reliable yellow brass construction





It’s no secret that students are hard on their first instruments. Eastman knows this, which is why the EBH311 sports a robust feature set. This baritone has stainless steel valves, which stand up to playing wear better than other alloys. The rose brass leadpipe resists moisture-related damage ? a massive plus for students. Moreover, the sturdy braces and joints withstand accidental bumps and bruises. With its durable design, the EBH311 Student Baritone is an excellent choice for beginners and band programs.





Top-tier appointments for budding musicians





Student-level instruments must be more than simply durable ? they must support proper development for the player. The EBH311’s yellow brass body and upright 8.37-inch bell create a warm, focused tone that’s an excellent fit for concert bands and classical playing. Furthermore, the well-balanced body frees players from practicing their instrument instead of fighting to keep it in place. This baritone features a 0.504-inch bore, providing plenty of breath support and efficient airflow for players new to the instrument. The EBH311 lays a solid foundation for any student to improve their musical skills.





Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992





Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they’ve never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players ? both students and professionals alike ? searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they’re looking for from Eastman.
