The Scott Cao STA 950 Viola is handcrafted through a collaborative process between Scott Cao’s workshops in Guangzhou, China, and Campbell, California. Each instrument is expertly built in the Guangzhou workshop before being shipped to Campbell, where it receives its hand-applied varnish, final setup, and meticulous finishing.

The 950 Series is crafted from 15-year naturally aged, highly flamed Bosnian maple paired with premium aged Italian spruce, carefully selected for their exceptional tonal and visual qualities. Distinguished by its refined craftsmanship, beautiful antiqued varnish, and outstanding tonal performance, the STA 950 represents one of Scott Cao’s finest workshop instruments.

  • High quality European maple
  • Fine Italian spruce
  • Indian ebony fingerboard
  • Hill style boxwood fittings

During the past fifteen years, Scott has won many awards in international competitions. Five times out of six, Scott Cao was awarded the "tone" award by the Violin Society of America's international competition committee.
