The Scott Cao STV-1500 Soil 1714 Violin represents the pinnacle of the Soil replicas, combining the finest tonewoods with meticulous craftsmanship for an instrument of professional caliber. Built, varnished, and set up in Scott Cao’s Morgan Hill, California Studio, the 1500 model uses the best quality 10-year aged Bosnian maple paired with an Italian spruce top for a resonant, powerful voice. Its hand-applied “exact copy” varnish replicates the look and character of Stradivari’s original masterpiece, ensuring both visual authenticity and tonal excellence.

With an Indian ebony fingerboard and elegant boxwood fittings, the STV-1500 exudes refinement in every detail. Inspired by Stradivari’s famed 1714 Soil violin — long considered one of the greatest sounding violins ever played — this model delivers a rich, complex tone with outstanding projection. Designed for advanced and professional players, the STV-1500 offers not only world-class playability and responsiveness but also an heirloom-quality connection to one of history’s most iconic instruments. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
