    Campbell artisan makes replicas of the world's most sought-after violins


    Violinmaker Scott Cao remembers the first time he saw the Heifetz Guarneri violin. He was at the San Francisco workshop of Roland Feller, a renowned restorer of violins and the sole caretaker to the prized instrument. "He showed me the back--just the back--and I said, 'That's the Heifetz Guarneri!' He said, 'You're very good.' I had studied it for a long time." In his Campbell workshop, Cao (pronounced "Chow") regularly makes copies of a dozen well-known violins, including the Guarneri "Cannon" played by Niccolò Paganini, but last month, he finished his first replica of the instrument made famous by one of the greatest musicians ever, Jascha Heifetz. The copy was a year in the making.   More
