Summary Tables
  In the best small master-shop tradition
Instruments from the Ling Wang workshop, located in a small
section of Eastman's Beijing facility, receive special attention from
Eastman's top luthiers.  Extensive research into old master
instruments and texts and a range of technical experiments come
together in these wonderful instruments - some of the best
workshop instruments available today.  These instruments employ
a special method of plate tuning involving graduation
(thicknessing) of the top and back, and tuning of the bass bar.  
The wood and fine details of any instrument vary with each one.  
Eastman's advanced techniques allow consistently high level of
performance in spite of this natural variation.  

Please see the summary tables to the left for specifications and
prices on particular models.  Not all are always available.
