    Eastman's numbered VL violin range, ordered by grade number from accessible student outfits up to performance and master-level instruments. It spans the Ascesa and Samuel Eastman student lines, the Andreas Eastman step-up and performance lines, and the higher Jean-Pierre Lupot model, with higher numbers indicating progressively finer tonewoods, fittings, and hand-applied varnish. Models are offered in a range of full and fractional sizes.
