This used 3\/4-size violin is available at Haggerty's Music and represents an upgraded take on Scott Cao's STV-500 platform, distinguished by more highly figured tonewoods and an upgraded natural-resin varnish with modern Italian-inspired coloring. Handmade in Guangzhou, China by skilled luthiers, the STV-600 is carefully graduated to encourage a powerful, refined voice with the responsiveness needed as a player's technique and musical expression develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTraditional tonewoods form the foundation of the STV-600, with a European spruce top paired with a highly flamed Chinese maple back. Ebony is used for the fingerboard and fittings, while genuine inlaid purfling provides both traditional visual detail and an additional mark of thoughtful construction. A Hill-style chinrest extends over the tailpiece for a familiar classical setup, and the composite tailpiece incorporates a single fine tuner. Dominant strings complete the playing setup, providing a well-established combination valued for its balanced response and versatile tonal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs a 3\/4-size instrument, this STV-600 is particularly well suited to advancing younger musicians who require a smaller violin but are ready for greater tonal depth and dynamic capability. Its combination of graduated construction, figured woods, upgraded varnish, quality fittings, and handmade craftsmanship gives it the character of an instrument intended to support serious musical development. Whether used for private lessons, orchestra, ensemble performance, or individual practice, this mint-condition Scott Cao STV-600 provides a compelling bridge between student-level practicality and the refinement of a more advanced violin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e STV-600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used - Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade and Meticulously Graduated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guangzhou, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e European Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly Flamed Chinese Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaple Figure:\u003c\/strong\u003e High Flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurfling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine Inlaid Purfling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarnish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural-Resin Varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarnish Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern Italian-Inspired Coloring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck \u0026amp;
