Morgan Hill, California (Wholesale)

10767 Hale Ave,
Morgan Hill, CA 95037
*Visits through appointment only

Our Morgan Hill workshop is where Scott Cao's team of internationally trained artisans build every instrument completely by hand, with Scott himself overseeing the work. We're particular about our wood: Bosnian maple for its density and grain, Italian spruce for resonance, finished in a traditional Italian oil varnish in either an antiqued or a clean, modern look.
These instruments have earned steady praise from teachers across the country and are trusted by advancing students and working professionals alike, a reputation built on getting tone, looks, and playability right at the same time.

*Walk-ins welcome!

Our Campbell shop is where you can see and try Scott Cao instruments in person. Every violin, viola, and cello here is handcrafted start to finish, with the same attention to tone, appearance, and playability that defines our workshops.
If you're not ready to buy, our rental program lets you play a quality instrument without the commitment, and we're happy to set aside time for you to try a few and find the one that actually fits how you play.
