The Scott Cao STV750E-SO is a meticulously handcrafted Conservatory Series violin, inspired by the famous Stradivarius "Soil 1714" model. This 4/4 violin is constructed of solid European spruce for the top and beautifully flamed European maple for the back and sides. This produces a tone with great depth, richness, and clarity – perfect for advanced players who want to develop their musical skills on a professional-level instrument.
The patinated oil-based varnish accurately reflects the color and wear pattern of the original Soil model, contributing to a refined, classic appearance. The tonewood matures with age, further deepening the tonal quality over time. The violin features an ebony fingerboard, tuning pegs, and chinrest, and is delivered unassembled. Professional setup by a luthier is required to fully appreciate the instrument.
