About the Scott Cao 1743 Cannon Please email to check availability on this model violinpros@haggertysmusic.com  The 1743 Guarneri violin is known as "Il Cannone" or "the Cannon" due to the power and full quality of its tone. This instrument was the favorite of Nicolo Paganini and was made by the renowned Cremona violin maker Guarneri - also known as del Gesu. The violin has distinct features such as a slightly shorter and thicker sound box and an markedly curved neck that set it apart from other violins. The tone of the Cannon is distinctly bright, yet very full, and is ideal for a player who wants the sound of their instrument to stand out. Reproductions of the 1743 Cannon are available in the STV 750, 850, 950 and 1500 models by Scott Cao.
