The Scott Cao STC-950 Cello represents a stunning blend of artistry, tone, and craftsmanship from the acclaimed Scott Cao Morgan Hill Studio. Meticulously handcrafted as a copy of a famous instrument, this model is built using high-quality European maple and Italian spruce, materials prized for their tonal resonance and visual appeal. Finished with the utmost care in Morgan Hill, California, each cello reflects the precision, warmth, and balance that define Scott Cao’s award-winning instruments.

The tone of the STC-950 is deep, resonant, and highly responsive, offering superb projection with a balanced clarity across all registers. Its rich lower end, expressive middle range, and luminous upper tones make it ideal for both solo and orchestral performance. As the instrument matures, its tonal complexity continues to expand, rewarding the player with enhanced warmth and projection over time.

Designed for advanced students, professional performers, and discerning musicians, the STC-950 stands apart for its European tonewoods, hand-applied finish, and faithful recreation of historic master instruments. Each cello from this series embodies the sound, elegance, and playability expected from a workshop of global acclaim.
