Scott Cao has built an amazing reputation among the finest players and teachers throughout the world. Instruments bearing his name are always of the utmost quality in performance and craftsmanship. The Scott Cao 850 Violin is the first model in his “Artistic Series” instruments. These instruments are each made in honor of historic violins and violin makers.

As a master luthier himself, Scott works tirelessly in training other luthiers who in turn train the factory workers. This constant push to educate and train the next generation of string luthiers holds true to the world’s finest standards of the trade.

The Scott Cao 850 Artist Series violins are available in many historic designs. The “Ex-David” violin is most known for being played by master violinist Jascha Heifetz. Originally named the after its previous owner, Ferdinand David, the Ex-David was purchased by Heifetz in 1922 and was his preferred instrument throughout his playing career. Heifetz left the David violin to the city of San Francisco with the stipulation that the instrument must not become simply a piece of art but rather that the instrument be played on by worthy musicians.
