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.

Scott Cao 850 – Cannon Model
The Scott Cao 850 Cannon is one of the most inquired about models in the series. Customers are interested in it due to the connection with Paganini. However, the Cannon uses a unique design that makes it a truly special violin. The original Cannon uses taller sides and a thicker top than many violins. This extra mass helped make the Cannon possess its dark, clear tone. This can make an instrument very favorable for the player with a stronger bow hand.

The Scott Cao version of the Cannon has been modified slightly to balance out this performance style while still staying true to the Cannon tonal characteristics. This setup is ideal for advancing players who want more dynamic control and desire the ability to “push” their instrument more, while keeping a rich, colorful tone!
