Introducing Busan and 5/8 Basses | Eastman

Bass players come in all shapes and statures so we set out to design two new patterns and sizes to meet the needs of even more bassists without sacrificing sound or quality.

Our new ⅝ size bass is made for the smaller player that still wants a big, resonant sound. This newly designed violin corner pattern is smaller but also deeper, with an ergonomic shape that doesn’t sacrifice low-end response.

Our new ⅞ size Busan bass is patterned after the work of renowned 18th century bass maker Domenico Busan. This bigger and deeper bass is designed for the orchestra, with a larger body to provide more air and resonance to support those lower notes and fundamentals. With an arched back with a bend drawn from centuries of bass-building tradition, this larger body balances ergonomic design with premium resonance.

Complete any Eastman bass with a C Extension to give full access to the low notes used in professional settings and add to the resonance of the instrument.
