In the world of music, one of the most famous and probably the classiest instrument would be none other than the violin. Of course in order to be able to be a maestro with this type of musical instrument, the instrument has to be world class and made by a really good luthier or violin maker. One of the most famous luthiers in this field is none other than Scott Cao who hails from the land of China.
In the seventies, he was an apprentice luthier in China when the reign of Mao Ze Dong was happening. After the heat of the cultural revolution, he moved to America in order to further continue his career in violin maker. Later on, he moved back to China to practice independently and then went back to California.
It was during the cultural revolution of China wherein mister Scott Cao first got his taste of violin making. Before he even discovered what this art was, he was a farmer who made a living with getting crops and selling these crops. When a master violin maker came to the area, he took interest in mister Cao and offered him apprenticeship in making exquisite violins and other string instruments.
Eventually, he participated in this program and officially became the apprentice of the violin maker. While studying under his teacher, he also went to a school in Guangzhou known as the Guangzhou Institute of Professions wherein he increased his knowledge and honed his violin making skills. In 1977, he graduated from this place and became a luthier in China.
Eventually during the mid eighties, China opened up itself which allowed mister Scott to travel to the United States of America. From there, he was able to study under a master luthier and studied how to repair other types of older instruments other than the violin. He studied under the best luthiers such as Louiz Bellini and Hans Weisshaar.
When he honed his skills and almost perfected them, he found a business partner named Hideo Kamimoto and partnered with him in opening up a store that sold good quality string instruments like violins, cellos, and others. After some years, he decided to create his own brand which is Scott Cao Violins. His store caters to those violin enthusiasts who would want quality instruments but at a very affordable price.
Eventually, he decided to move back to the United States of America and create a shop somewhere there. He became very famous when he entered a lot of violin making contests and getting awards there. He was so famous that violinists like Itzhak Perlman, Nigel Kennedy, Bin Huang, and more used his violins.
Mister Scott Cao is one of the nest violin makers that the world of music has ever seen. He is extremely famous for making really detailed copies of the Guarneri designs and the Stradivari designs. He is known to be able to take a look at even the smallest details of each instrument that he makes and makes sure that all strings sound really good.
