About the Scott Cao 1733 Kreisler We feel very strongly that no specimen can exemplify del Gesu in his mature youth more strikingly than the 1733 Kreisler.

Reproductions of the 1733 Kreisler are available in the STV 750, 850, 950 and 1500 models by Scott Cao. All models of Scott Cao Violins are prof...
