EASTMAN IMPORTED THEIR EARLY INSTRUMENTS FROM SUCH MAKERS AS DR. MOULON SONG WHO IMHO HAND MADE THIS ONE. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY EASTMAN OPENED THEIR OWN FACTORY AROUND 1995. HIGH MODEL NUMBERS LIKE THE 1001 WERE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE AND FANTASTIC INSTRUMENTS COMPARED TO THE LOWER NUMBER MODELS LIKE THE VL80, 100, ETC. EARLY MODELS LIKE THIS VERY RARE GUADAGNINI, OR THE SCARAMPELLA, AND A GAGLIANO MODEL, ARE VERY GOOD INSTRUMENTS, MADE WITH HIGH DENSITY MAPLE AND FINE GRAIN SPRUCE. IDEAL FOR PROFESSIONALS OR ADVANCING STUDENTS. THE STUDENT BOW IS USABLE WITH DECENT HAIR. PERFECT STEP-UP INSTRUMENT. EASTMAN SOURCED INSTRUMENTS THAT WERE HAND MADE IN CHINA UNDER STRICT STANDARDS. THE CASE IS DECENT QUALITY. PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT. THE STRINGS ARE NEW SILVER WOUND NICKEL STEEL CORE. THIS IS A COMPLETE PACKAGE, READY FOR PLAY. FED-EX SHIPPING IS FREE. THESE VIOLINS RETAILED IN THE $3600+ RANGE AND THE OLDER ONES ARE VERY SOUGHT AFTER. THE BACK SEAM HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THE FINGERBOARD STANDOFF AND PROJECTION WERE CORRECTED WITH A WEDGE. IT PLAYS WONDERFULLY AND HAS TONAL QUALITY THAT DEFIES EXPECTATIONS. ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING EASTMAN VIOLINS I HAVE EVER PLAYED.
