Andreas Eastman cellos are the instruments that we use most frequently in our rental program, and are also available for purchase. These high-quality instruments have a warm, pleasing tone, and are highly responsive to the demands of beginning and intermediate students. Perrin and Associates adds our own hand-crafted bridge and professional-quality strings to each instrument, and we adjust each for optimal performance before it leaves our shop.

Perrin and Associates carries a variety of high-quality antique fractional size violins, which are intended for advanced young musicians. Examples include several French violins from Jerome Thibouville-Lamy, other French violins from Mirecourt, and German violins made in Markneukirchen and Mittenwald in the late 1800s.

The complete line of Eastman Strings violins is available at our shop. They begin at just around $1,000. We have worked with Eastman since 1992 and have consisently found their instruments to be outstanding value for students and advanced students, depending on the version. We can help steer you toward the appropriate level.
