Review EASTMAN Vc928 Ra Emiliani Professional Cello 4/4 Size

The Eastman VC928S and VC928 Ra Emiliani 4/4 Cello are exquisite instruments crafted by the esteemed Eastman Strings company, in collaboration with Maestro Roberto A. Dall'Anese and renowned cello maker, Gaetano Ra, of the Emiliani workshop in Cremona, Italy.

The VC928S and VC928 cellos boast an elegant and traditional design, reflecting the rich history of Cremonese instrument making. The two-piece maple back and ribs, along with the beautifully flamed one-piece maple table, are carefully selected and meticulously graduated to ensure optimal sound projection and response. The table is adorned with an intricately inlaid purfling and a hand-applied oil varnish, enhancing the instrument's visual appeal and protecting its surface.

The cellos feature a hand-carved spruce neck with an ebony fingerboard and a choice of either an ebony or an amber-colored hardwood pegbox. The pegs are designed to provide smooth tuning and are fitted with elegant, gold-plated machine tuning pegs. The tailpiece is a high-quality, adjustable ebony tailpiece with integral fine tuners, ensuring precise tuning and excellent tonal clarity.

The VC928S and VC928 cellos come equipped with a high-quality, hand-wound, steel core, Helicore strings by D'Addario, which provide a balanced and rich tonal character. The bridges are made of carefully selected maple, ensuring a proper string alignment and optimal sound transfer from the strings to the body.

The cellos' interiors are meticulously crafted, with a traditional oil varnish and a delicate, hand-applied spirit varnish on the exterior. This varnish application process ensures that each instrument receives a unique and beautiful finish, while preserving the authenticity and craftsmanship of the traditional Cremonese cello making techniques.

The Eastman VC928S and VC928 Ra Emiliani 4/4 Cello are not only visually stunning but also offer a rich, resonant sound that rivals those of much more expensive instruments. These cellos are perfect for serious students, aspiring professionals, and enthusiasts who appreciate the tradition and craftsmanship that goes into creating a truly exceptional instrument.

The Eastman VC928S and VC928RA Emiliani cellos are both high-quality 4/4 size instruments produced by the Eastman Strings company. Both cellos are part of their professional series and feature Italian-style designs, making them suitable for intermediate and advanced players. Here are some pros and cons of each cello to help you make an informed decision:

- Solid spruce top with maple back and sides

- Wittner tailpiece with built-in adjusters

- High-quality Italian-style fittings and pegs

- Good projection and tone

- Affordable price point for a professional-level cello

- May require some setup and adjustments before playing

- Some players may prefer a darker or more complex tone

- Solid spruce top with flamed maple back and ribs

- Wittner tailpiece with built-in adjusters

- High-quality Italian-style fittings and pegs

- Beautiful, attractive appearance

- Warm, rich tone with good projection

- More expensive than the VC928S

- May require more maintenance due to the flamed maple back and ribs

In conclusion, both the Eastman VC928S and VC928RA Emiliani cellos are excellent choices for intermediate and advanced cello players. The main difference between the two models is the appearance of the VC928RA, which features a flamed maple back and ribs. If you prioritize aesthetics and are willing to pay a higher price, the VC928RA may be the better choice for you. However, if you are looking for a high-quality, professional-level cello at a more affordable price, the VC928S is an excellent option. Ultimately, it is important to try out each cello in person to determine which one best suits your playing style and preferences.

My recommendation would be to consider your budget and personal preferences when deciding between the two cellos. Both are excellent instruments, but the VC928RA offers a more distinctive look and a slightly warmer, richer tone. If you are looking for a beautiful-sounding cello with an attractive appearance and are willing to pay a higher price, the VC928RA may be the best choice for you. If you prioritize affordability and a more traditional tone, the VC928S is an excellent option. Whichever cello you choose, you can be confident that you are investing in a high-quality instrument from a reputable manufacturer.
