Your viola arrives beautifully protected, expertly adjusted, and ready for immediate performance — exactly as Scott Cao intends.
The Scott Cao STA-850 Viola represents a superior level of craftsmanship from the renowned Scott Cao Workshop in Guangzhou. As a faithful copy of a famous instrument, it showcases refined artistry and attention to acoustic precision. Built with Italian spruce and highly flamed Bosnian maple, this viola delivers a beautifully balanced tone that combines warmth, clarity, and excellent projection.
Its sound is rich, resonant, and complex, with a singing upper register and powerful lower range that respond effortlessly under the bow. The hand-applied varnish enhances both the instrument’s tonal qualities and its elegant visual appeal, while the fine materials ensure that the tone matures beautifully with time and play.
Perfect for advancing students, conservatory players, and teachers, the STA-850 Viola offers professional tonal depth and performance quality at an accessible price. It stands out for its expressive responsiveness, tonal sophistication, and striking handcrafted finish.
