Eastman VC305S 4/4 Cello, Intermediate

The Andreas Eastman VC305 Cello

The Eastman VC305 is an intermediate-level acoustic cello that blends traditional craftsmanship with resonant tone and expressive playability. It is handcrafted from select tonewoods — including a solid spruce top and flamed maple back and ribs — that together produce a rich, warm sound with clear projection suitable for ensemble and solo performance. The instrument’s classic appointments, such as an ebony fingerboard and fittings, fine tuners on the tailpiece, and hand-applied shaded spirit varnish, contribute to both its responsive feel and elegant visual presence. Available in sizes ranging from full (4/4) down to fractional options, the VC305 is widely recognized for its strong tonal character and excellent value as a next-step cello for developing musicians.

Hand-Carved Spruce Top

The solid spruce top is carefully hand-carved to provide rich resonance and strong projection across registers, giving the cello a warm, full tone.

Flamed Maple Back and Ribs

The back and ribs are made from highly flamed maple, contributing depth and complexity to the instrument’s overall sound while supporting visual appeal.

Shaded Spirit Varnish Finish

A hand-applied shaded spirit varnish protects the wood and enhances its natural acoustic properties, while also giving the cello a classic, refined look.

Ebony Fingerboard and Pegs

Durable ebony fittings provide smooth playability and stable tuning, ideal for advancing players as they refine their technique.

Wittner Tailpiece with Fine Tuners

The Wittner tailpiece includes integrated fine tuners, making precise pitch adjustments easier and more convenient.

Genuine Hand-Inlaid Purfling

Traditional purfling around the edges of the top adds both visual elegance and structural reinforcement.

Despiau “1 Tree” Bridge

A high-quality French-style bridge that efficiently transmits string vibration to the body, helping produce a balanced and responsive tone.
