Used 4/4 Violin Scott Cao STV1500 2009 Copy of ‘Viotti’ of 1709 by Stradivari

Description

This beautiful violin is a used copy of the ‘Viotti’ Stradivari of 1709. Scott Cao's workshop in California completes only two of the 1500 level violins each month and the waiting list is long!
The Scott Cao 1500 series (STV1500) violins feature an exact copy varnish along with the highest quality Bosnian maple and Italian spruce woods aged 20+ years. The fingerboards are made of Indian ebony and have boxwood fittings. This beautiful violin was built, varnished, and set up in the Campbell, California studio.
This violin is superbly crafted with acute attention to every detail. I feel this violin was made to last a lifetime and it’s tone is definitely suitable for the advanced to the professional violinist. The tone is top notch! It is even, clear, rich, powerful and has so many colors! This is because it was made of only the finest tone woods and made by a Master Luthier. It will meet the demanding needs of the advanced to professional musician.
This master violin has a label signed by its maker.
Specifications:
4/4 size
This is a used violin with wear and tear which is commensurate with its age and use. There are three flea bite size nicks on the top and various imprints left on the top by a piece of fabric. The varnish from under the feet of the bridge has come off and stuck to the feet of the bridge. All of these things are cosmetic and in no way affect this beautiful violin’s playability. However you may, at your own expense, take this instrument to a professional and highly qualified violin repair person to be touched up and possibly rubbed out but I see no need to do this. I see no other damage or repairs. My loss is your gain! This model, STV1500, now retails new for ,000. This is your chance to own a professional violin for a fraction of retail.
As always, you will receive 100% the same violin as shown. There are no returns, no refunds, no exchanges, all sales are final/“as is”and we do not sell on approval. This beautiful violin will be shipped fully insured with its bridge down to prevent damage during shipment. The sound post may fall during shipment and if that happens a qualified luthier can easily reset it. We have sold hundreds of bows & violins to hundreds of satisfied collectors, dealers, players & soloists from around the world. Buy with confidence.
Good luck on your bid!
