Eastman VC100 Student Cello Outfit - 1/10 Size

1/10-size Cello with Spruce Top, Maple Back and Ribs, Ebony Fingerboard, Ebony Fittings, Despiau Bridge, and Bag, Bow, and Strings - High-gloss Varnish

Equip Your Student for Success

The Samuel Eastman VC100 is a top-flight student-level cello. Replete with aged solid tonewoods, this instrument boasts hand-laid purfling, genuine ebony fittings and an appealing high-gloss varnish finish that not only looks great, but is also durable enough to withstand the rigors of student life. You'll appreciate this cello's hand-carved construction, which includes a solid Chinese spruce top, a solid Chinese maple back, and laminated maple ribs. A Despiau bridge rounds out the VC100's impressive features. There's a good reason why Samuel Eastman Model 100 instruments have become staples of string programs worldwide; they offer the perfect combination of value, sound, and craftsmanship. The Samuel Eastman VC100 Cello Outfit comes with the VC100 cello, a CC40 nylon bag, a BC10 K. Holtz fiberglass bow, and D'Addario Prelude strings.

Hand-carved tonewoods for enhanced sound and longevity

Samuel Eastman cellos are made from aged tonewoods using tried-and-tested methods. The VC100's top is hand-carved from solid Chinese spruce wood, used for its stiffness and tonal qualities; the back is also carved from solid maple wood. The top and back are then girdled by laminate maple ribs for increased durability and finished with a high-gloss varnish for long-lasting beauty. Even the fingerboard, pegs, and bridge are all made by incorporating old-world techniques. Together, each component adds to the instrument's attractive look and supreme tone quality.

Comes with an Eastman BC10 K. Holtz bow

Players who are just starting their musical journey don't have an immediate need for a high-end wood or a carbon fiber bow. They need an affordable bow that won't compromise their learning. The K. Holtz bow from Eastman is a superb option for budding cellists — it's optimally balanced and helps produce a smooth, clear sound. Also, it won't warp or break easily, meaning your student can rely on it throughout their formative years. On top of that, the ebony frog, the genuine leather grip, and the unbleached Mongolian horsehair give this bow a natural feel that will be comfortable for students to learn and grow with. When equipped with the K. Holtz fiberglass bow, your young cellist will perform with confidence.

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.
