For cellists looking for a deep tone with a bit of edge, the Andreas Eastman Master VC906 is the perfect instrument.

And with our Sweetwater setup, which includes Larsen A D and Spirocore Chrome G C strings, this instrument will have the extra power and clarity that soloists will especially love. To add to its sound and charm, the Master VC906 is coated with a gold-colored oil varnish that enhances its tonal qualities.

Hand carved from select Bosnian tonewoods





The Andreas Eastman Master cello is made from select tonewoods that master luthiers carve by hand to perfection. The top and back woods are both sourced from Bosnian trees, which have historically produced tonewoods used by the world’s best violin makers. Eastman’s luthiers carefully sculpt the spruce top, maple back, and ribs from these tonewoods, ensuring the Master cello’s deep tonal characteristics. Every piece of the VC906 is meticulously crafted leveraging age-old European techniques, resulting in an attractive violin with exceptional tone, projection, and playability.





Meticulous details that matter





Every cello that goes through the Eastman workshop is precisely made using traditional methods passed down throughout the centuries. As a result, the VC906 Master cello enables you to play with powerful sound and splendid tonal colors. Each piece of the instrument, from the expertly carved scroll down to the light trim on its boxwood fittings, marks this cello as a luthiery masterpiece. Even the outside edges of its body are bordered with genuine hand-inlaid purfling, which adds charm and beauty while also protecting it from cracking. And to finish everything off, master luthiers hand apply many layers of a gold-colored oil varnish over several months, further enhancing the Master cello’s rich tonal character.





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.
