Unlike most factory made instruments, Scott Cao's 017 models are fully hand carved by a group of skilled makers trained by Scott Cao's students. These instruments feature carved scroll, carved tops, back arching and beautifully applied hand-painted varnish. They are graduated by hand and finished according to the specifications of the traditional style. We have our 017 cellos setup standard with Aubert Bridges and D'Addario strings. This setup is done in Scott Cao's workshop. With Soft case and LaSalle LB-19 Brazilwood bow add $129.
