History of the "LaFont" circa 1735

The "Lafont" Scott Cao violin is modeled after an instrument made by Guarneri "del Gesu" from 1735. It is named after the great Parisian virtuoso, Charles Philippe Lafont, who studied with Kreutzer and Rode. Lafont served as a chamber musician to Czar Alexander I of Russia during the French Revolution and served the court of King Louis XVIII upon his return to France. The original violin is currently owned by Nigel Kennedy. Source: Scott Cao Violins
