The Scott Cao STV750ES-LF is a handcrafted, high-quality instrument based on the historic Guarneri del Gesù “Lafont 1735” model. This 4/4 violin is crafted from carefully selected European spruce for the top and flamed maple for the back and sides. The result is a rich, versatile tone that perfectly balances power and nuance. The patinated spirit finish gives the violin an authentic, antique appearance that honors the heritage of the original model.
This violin is designed for advanced players who want to deepen their musical expression with an instrument that continues to develop as you play it. The STV750ES-LF is delivered unassembled and requires a bridge, strings, and soundpost to be fitted by an experienced luthier. This allows each instrument to develop its unique character, tailored to the player and their playing style.
