Eastman VC405 Step-Up Cello
Andreas Eastman VC405S Cello featuring premium tonewoods, antiqued spirit varnish, and traditional workshop craftsmanship. Includes ebony fingerboard, Despiau bridge, and Wittner tailpiece.
The Andreas Eastman VC405S is a highly regarded step-up cello designed for advancing players seeking greater tonal depth, projection, and refinement. Built with carefully selected tonewoods and inspired by traditional European craftsmanship, the VC405S offers a responsive and rewarding playing experience.
A hand-carved, well-seasoned spruce top is paired with highly flamed maple back, ribs, and scroll to produce a warm, resonant voice with excellent balance and projection. The instrument responds easily under the bow, allowing players to explore a broad range of dynamics and tonal colors while maintaining clarity throughout its range.
Finished in a multi-layer antiqued spirit varnish, the VC405S draws inspiration from the celebrated Markneukirchen workshops of late 19th and early 20th century Germany. The result is an instrument with a mature, old-world appearance that highlights the beauty of its tonewoods.
Combining quality materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and strong acoustic performance, the VC405S provides the tonal flexibility and playability that advancing cellists seek as they continue developing their technique and musical expression.
