Your instrument arrives protected, tuned, and ready for immediate performance, exactly as Scott Cao intends.

The Scott Cao Personal Master Made Cello represents the highest echelon of fine cello craftsmanship — designed, started, and personally finished by Master Luthier Scott Shu Kun Cao himself. This model is an exact replica of a historical masterpiece, including the authentic varnish and tonal character that made the original legendary. Each cello is handcrafted using Italian spruce tops and select tonewoods aged up to 100 years, ensuring extraordinary resonance, durability, and tonal depth that only time-aged materials can produce.

With its exquisite tonal balance and complex character, this cello delivers unparalleled warmth, power, and clarity. The aged wood produces a mature tone that opens up beautifully with playing — deep and sonorous in the lower register, yet brilliantly responsive in the upper range. Every note projects with emotional richness, making this instrument a perfect partner for concert performances and professional recordings alike.

Ideal for virtuoso performers, master-level students, and discerning collectors, the Personal Master Made Cello is a statement of refinement and artistry. Each piece is custom-built to your specifications, offering an unmatched level of personalization and acoustic perfection that truly embodies Scott Cao’s life’s work.
