Scott Cao Violins

I really enjoyed my experience here, they have a variety of strings instruments ranging in many prices depending on how much you are willing to spend. Overall the quality is above and beyond what you would expect. If you are looking for a place that has it all for string instruments this should be your stop.

This is the best violin shop in Cali, their prices are fair and they repair everything to perfection. I brought in a cracked violin (because I dropped it) and when I was given it back it was like the crack didn’t even happen and it even played better than before. I would recommend this to anyone who plays or need to rent a violin!

Jiansheng Mai repaired a crack which extended the full length of the belly, into and out of the f hole, of my signature Scott Cao violin. (I had dropped it). From start to finish JM and the entire staff was reassuring and sent photos as the repair progressed. It plays better now than before the repair! And I asked for and got Wittner tuners which are working out well. Great job!

Our teacher recommended this place. This is a small shop which specialize in making their own violins. Selections for violin of particular size are usually limited at any given time but their violins are of excellent quality. Service is friendly and professional. My son rented a violin when he started and we purchased two violins thereafter in three years. They also allow trade-in of old violins. We are happy with all violins rented / purchased from this shop and never had a problem with quality.

They have all levels instruments and repairs, also they make violin in this shop, very nice place

Great help with violin selection and reasonable rental rates for their violins. They rent violins and up to 6 months rental can be applied as credits to the purchase of a violin from the store. Since they make their own instruments, their know the nitty gritty details and is totally willing to help enlighten total newbies like me.

Very helpful with daughter's violin service. Technical know how. Excellent handcrafted violin selection built on site. Good, quality supply selection for strings.
