The Twelfth Fret is an Authorized Eastman Dealer for Canada
As an accomplished flutist from Beijing, Qian Ni founded Eastman Strings in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. He never imagined that over the course of 25 years, the company would grow from a small business operated out of the back of his car into a global maker of musical instruments.
These time-honored yet humble beginnings keep Eastman grounded as the family grows supplying the world with the finest instruments. From Eastman skilled luthiers who painstakingly carve carefully selected woods, to the team who hand varnish Antique Varnish Series; the Eastman guitar & mandolin craftsmanship is rooted in the same obsession to build the best violin, violas, cellos, and basses.
