The VL305 Andreas Eastman Series Step-Up violin outfit is one of the most popular step-up violins in both appearance and sound. The strong tonal and visual presence comes from a select spruce top and highly flamed maple back, ribs and scroll. These vibrant, hand-crafted tonewoods are treated with a hand-applied antique-style spirit varnish to bring out the superior flame of the wood. Each VL305 violin includes high-quality ebony pegs, tailpiece and chinrest.
