The Eastman ECN421 includes a hand-spun, wire-reinforced yellow brass bell. This bell is extremely lightweight, giving this cornet a balanced feel — a must for beginning players who aren't used to holding a horn in the correct position for a long time. Bad posture leads to improper breathing, off-kilter intonation, and can become an ingrained habit that impedes a student's progress. The ECN421 features a clear lacquer finish that not only looks great, but it also lends a warm sheen to the cornet's tonality.
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.
