The Scott Cao STV-750E 1714 “Soil” violin is a meticulously crafted replica of one of the most celebrated Stradivari instruments in history. With its deep, powerful voice and striking aesthetic, the Soil has been a favorite of legendary performers such as Itzhak Perlman and Yehudi Menuhin, admired for its balance of warmth, projection, and tonal brilliance. Scott Cao’s interpretation captures the essence of this iconic violin, offering advanced players an instrument capable of nuanced dynamics and professional-level performance.

Built and varnished in Guangzhou, China, the STV-750E features carefully selected tonewoods, including a European spruce top and highly figured maple back. The instrument is outfitted with an Indian ebony fingerboard and classic Hill-style fittings for durability and elegance. The Soil’s legacy lies not only in its unparalleled tone but also in its visual beauty, with flame maple illuminated under a lustrous varnish that recalls Stradivari’s greatest work. Ideal for serious students and advancing professionals, this violin delivers both historical prestige and exceptional playability. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
