Tobias Music - Chicago Area’s Finest Guitars (and mandolins)
Proud partner of Eastman Stringed Instruments for the past 15 years.
Some serious vintage mojo. This one is gorgeous. Solid Adirondack spruce top paired with solid flamed maple back and side. Eastman’s vintage varnish finish giving you all the vintage looks, all the vintage tone. Handmade by the master luthiers at Eastman. One of Eastman’s finest. With a look, style, and sound all of their own, the Antique Varnish mandolins use the same world class, hand applied varnish as Eastman violins.
A six step process starting with a basecoat application to fill the grain, moving to color application, concluding with a french polish, resulting in a finish that’s softer than lacquer, with a smoother tone. A thinner layer of varnish allows for a more resonant, and wide-open sound, giving these instruments a voice all their own.
