Eastman VL305 Andreas Eastman Intermediate Violin - 4/4-size


Sells separately for $1,307.20





The Andreas Eastman VL305 is a remarkable violin that’s well suited for advancing musicians who’ve outgrown their student instrument. The VL305 from Sweetwater is finely crafted from select tonewoods that have been aged and seasoned for superb tonality. These include a solid spruce top, a flamed maple back, and maple ribs that have all been carefully hand carved by luthiers using 19th-century techniques. To finalize the setup, this Andreas Eastman violin totes Pirastro Tonica strings, resulting in an astounding violin that produces a powerful, full-bodied tone that fills any room. The Andreas Eastman violin is also dressed with sturdy ebony pegs and a fine tuner for the E string, which means less time fussing with tuning and more time playing. The ebony chinrest also makes this violin supremely comfortable to play, making this one of the most compelling step-up violins available anywhere.

CodaBow Prodigy Student Violin Bow - 4/4 Size


Sells separately for $365.00





For beginning students, a high-quality bow is essential. A student-level bow needs to be well-balanced, comfortable to hold, and easy to use; otherwise, the student is in danger of developing bad habits. Or worse yet, the student may become frustrated and quit. From frog to tip, the CodaBow Prodigy is tailor-made to meet the needs of a developing musician. The Prodigy’s center-tip balance is incredibly forgiving, allowing newer players to develop their bowing technique with confidence. This bow’s medium weight allows for agile playability, and its firm action facilitates a deep string connection that students will find inspiring. Moreover, the Prodigy’s stiffer design helps steady a novice’s hand for a clearer, more even tone. The Prodigy features an eco-friendly Xebony frog, and its GlobalBow designation ensures that no endangered, monitored, or regulated species were involved in its manufacturing. You’ll need to look long and hard to find a better bow than the CodaBow Prodigy to support a student’s developing technique.

Pirastro Goldflex Rosin


Sells separately for $17.02





Apply Pirastro Goldflex rosin to your bow hair, and you'll enjoy a lock-tight grip on your strings with zero scratchiness. This hard, gold-colored rosin is tailor-made for steel strings; although, players with synthetic and gut strings will appreciate the reliability of this rosin in hot, tropical climates. Here at Sweetwater, we often recommend harder, dryer rosins like Pirastro's Goldflex to concert hall-bound performers, given its ability to withstand all measures of temperature and humidity. Goldflex rosin comes in a chamois cloth attached to a hard plastic grip to safeguard against sticky fingers during application. If you need a high-quality, general-use rosin, you can't go wrong with Pirastro Goldflex.
