Sweetwater Setup provides added value





When you buy the Eastman SWVA100 Student Viola Outfit from Sweetwater, we include a bevy of valuable extras. For starters, you get a Despiau bridge, which includes a natural treatment for added strength and outstanding tone. A Wittner Ultra tailpiece not only gives you rock-solid reliability, but fine tuners also make keeping your instrument in tune much easier. Plus, you'll appreciate the excellent balance and humidity-resistant construction of the included carbon composite bow. A set of D'Addario Ascente strings rounds out the Sweetwater Setup, providing a warm, wide tonal range and a super-short break-in time.





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.
