Eastman's elegant golden-age style
instruments are finished by hand
in traditional, handmade spirit varnish. Many
time-consuming coats cover the instrument with a thin,
supple layer that doesn't interfere with sound
production. Unlike most makers, Eastman charges
nothing extra for this traditional finish. Non-traditional
lacquers, polyurethane, and the like tend to inhibit
vibration when placed directly on wood, cutting the
sound of almost all production and most small-builder
mandolins. Eastman mandolins come with either a
straight spirit varnish finish or with a very thin lacquer
overcoat which is buffed back almost to the varnish.
The straight spirit varnish is a mellower, less reflective,
more rustic look. Lacquer overcoated mandolins are
glossy shiny. Because of the hand application and
techniques used in Eastman's shop, minor
irregularities, roughness in the turn of the scroll and
under the fingerboard, and minor crackling or checking
may occur. These are not defects and are not cause
for warranty service.
Eastman Mandolins come in several color schemes,
with variations from mandolin to mandolin as in any
completely handcrafted product:
Classic: Shades from dark red-brown to
golden-brown.
Sunburst: Shades from dark red-brown to
golden-yellow.
Blonde: Light yellow-brown/natural wood finish.
Golden Age: Gorgeous pumpkin / mustard color
Black: Transparent black varnish
Classic/Sunburst: Classic back and sides, mellow
sunburst front.
