Violin Viola Cello, made in Scott Cao China factory

Instruments made in Scott Cao's Guangzhou, China factory

Unlike most factory made instruments, ours are fully hand carved by a group of skilled makers trained by Scott Cao's students. These instruments feature carved scroll, carved tops, back arching and beautifully applied hand-painted varnish. These instruments are graduated by hand and finished according to the specifications of the traditional style. Due to the fine tone, pleasing appearance, and competitive price, they make excellent instruments for beginner and are perfect for shop rental programs.
