LAKE CITY “ELLIE CLAIRE”

The details of a finely crafted instrument are evident in the Ellie Claire model violins, violas, and cellos. A warm varnish with artful shading in golden hues is reminiscent of fine modern Italian instruments. From the tight, well-formed curl of the maple back and ribs to the precisely scooped edges and f-holes, the construction of these instruments reflects many of the elements perfected by master instrument makers. Ellie Claire instruments have been made with the musician’s success in mind.

Features include:

• Fully hand-carved construction; fine spruce top and well-figured curly maple back
• Ebony fingerboard, pegs and chinrest
• Hand-applied spirit-oil varnish
• Guarneri pattern

EASTMAN 315

A variation to the proven and popular Andreas Eastman model 305, this instrument has the advantage of being made with premium Alpine spruce and Bosnian maple. Well known for centuries for their tonal superiority, these instruments are capable of higher level performance along with a clearer, brighter, more powerful and nuanced tone.

Features include:

• Entirely hand-crafted European tone woods with select-aged spruce top, flamed maple back, ribs and scroll
• Hand-carved ebony pegs and and chinrest
• Hand-applied antique style spirit varnish
