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.
He was originally a luthier that worked in China some time during the seventies. Because of the revolution of Mao Ze Dong at that time, he decided to move home and find a new life in the United States of America. Now, he is a very famous violin maker who works in a place named Campbell located in 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.
In the year 1985, China opened itself to other countries which gave mister Cao an opportunity to travel to America in order to start anew. In America, he studied under some of the most famous names when it comes to violin making. He studied under great names such as Hans Weisshaar, Louiz Bellini, and Roland Feller.
After learning the trade, he decided to go back to China and open up his own shop along with mister Hideo Kamimoto. His store sold some of the best quality but very affordable string instruments like violins, violas, cellos and many others. After some time, he established his own brand known as Scott Cao Violins.
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.
The life mister Scott Cao was a good one with regard to his career because he was doing something that he really has a passion for and really excelled in it. He was so good that even his copies of the famous Stradivarius was praised by music enthusiasts. Because of his burning passion for creating violins, he was able to become an extremely skillful luthier, probably one of the best in the field.
