The Eastman 515 CCN is mat finished and is very thin so there is no overspray problem to be concerned about. Maybe I just was lucky to have purchased that 1 in 10000 instruments as suggested...

It seems understandable that those of us (myself included!) who have spent significant amounts of money on a “higher’ end luthier made instrument/s have difficulty hearing “real” personal...

I purchased an Eastman 515 CCN about a year and a half ago. To this day I am still amazed of the sound, action and overall playability of the instrument. I do have excellent luthier built instruments...

Thanks for all you responses.Really helpful. Has anyone tried Dorico? It is a Steinberg product! They produce Cubase.
