Eastman Strings is returning to the traditions of the great string instrument builders of the past, and is bringing handmade instruments to musicians around the world at affordable prices.Įastman Guitars are fine handmade instruments at very reasonable prices. After the war, the majority of instrument production had been mechanized, and in order for musicians to find decent instruments they would have to save enormous amounts of money for older, handmade instruments. Traditions that had been handed down for centuries from master instrument makers were all but lost, and the process of building by hand was replaced by large-scale manufacturing. During World War II, many of the premier instrument makers had their towns and workshops destroyed, and some were even killed in the violence. By this time, violin and string instrument builders had streamlined their process enough by hiring specialized woodworkers who would assist them in the most time consuming tasks that there were plenty of quality, affordable handmade instruments. Eastman Strings began in 1992, but its roots date back centuries to the violin and bow makers of the 1800s.
