The Scott Cao STA-750E Viola is a beautifully handcrafted instrument inspired by the classic designs of Gasparo Da Salo, blending old-world influence with refined modern craftsmanship. Built and varnished in Guangzhou, this 15.5" viola offers intermediate players an elevated playing experience with impressive tonal depth, visual elegance, and responsive feel. 

Constructed with a resonant Italian spruce top and European maple back and sides, the STA-750E delivers a warm, articulate tone with excellent projection and clarity. The straight varnish finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood while allowing the instrument to vibrate freely for a more open, singing response. The violin features traditional styling and balanced tonal character that players will appreciate in both solo and ensemble settings. The Indian ebony fingerboard and Hill-style ebony fittings add durability, smooth playability, and a timeless professional appearance.

Designed with comfort and responsiveness in mind, the STA-750E provides a smooth, balanced feel that encourages confident playing and refined technique development. The carefully shaped maple neck allows for comfortable position shifts, while the floating bridge setup helps maximize resonance and dynamic response. Ebony pegs and premium Hill-style fittings offer reliable tuning stability and elegant finishing touches. Whether performing in orchestra, lessons, or recitals, the Scott Cao STA-750E delivers the craftsmanship, tone, and playability intermediate violinists need to continue progressing with confidence.
