Have the best of both worlds with the Eastman 405 Electro Acoustic viola outfit. While plugged in the Eastman 405+ violin keeps the natural warmth of a traditional viola while adding edge and a whole new dimension of musical possibilities. Andreas Eastman violas feature a varnish that emulates the exceptional varnishes from master workshops in Markneukirchen, Germany a century ago.  These workshops distinguished themselves by developing some of the best varnishes of the modern era, and we have employed their varnish recipes and techniques to achieve old-world results.The unique pickup system is embedded into the spruce top of the instrument before varnishing with no disturbance to the bridge. The Eastman proprietary 3.5 mm jack is used as the end button on the viola making it unnoticeable. Each Series+ instrument comes with a lightweight, low-profile cable that provides a seamless connection to your amplifier or individual playing setup, making this the easiest and most comfortable design to “plug in” on the market.
