Is a copy of a Stradivarius worth anything?
Anywhere from $50 to $50,000 depending on its maker. The vast majority of violins are copies of some Stradivarius or another; most aren't marked as such. (In fact, I suspect many violin makers don't realize that the shapes they're using were created by careful measurement of a Stradivarius.)
How much is a copy of Antonius Stradivarius violin made in Germany worth?
All supposed Stradivarius violins marked “Made in Germany” are bogus. As is every “Strad” wannabee marked as Austria, Czechoslovakia, Japan, Korea, etc. Restored to good, playable condition, this violin may be worth from $100 to $300.
How do I identify a Stradivarius copy?
The Label – To really know if it's an original one you can always identify it in the instrument's label. Stradivari's violins always had a label that read “Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno”, followed by the year they were made.
How many Stradivarius copies are there?
How Many Stradivarius Violins Been Made? The 960 instruments were violins, and the rest were violas, cellos, guitars, and harps. Unfortunately, out of that number, only about 650 are in existence right now, and only over 200 violins were accounted for.
