The VC305 Andreas Eastman Series Step-Up cello outfit is one of the most popular step-up cellos in both appearance and sound. The strong tonal and visual presence comes from a select spruce top and highly flamed maple back, ribs and scroll. These vibrant, hand-crafted tonewoods are treated with a hand-applied antique-style varnish to bring out the superior flame of the wood. Each VC305 Andreas Eastman Series Step-Up cello includes high-quality ebony pegs and a Wittner tailpiece.
