Antonio Stradivari's working life lasted about 75 years. During this time he created many instruments. Each was an original unto itself, whether made as part of a set, by direct commission, or during the daily work routine. These include violins, violas, violoncellos, pochettes, and even Guitars. No instrument is exactly like another in every detail of craftsmanship but all bear the marked impress of a skilled, consistent, craftsman who worked on a specific design: the templates of which were fully drawn out on paper before the instrument was made, unless a decision was made to make more than one from a certain pattern which came before. Out of the original number of 410 wooden forms that were once inventoried as part of the tools and materials left in Stradivari's shop (after it closed), fewer than 20 remain and are now housed at the museum in Cremona. Because of this, and many other circumstances, only those who choose to undertake the detailed, painstaking, study of Stradivari's instruments (and not necessarily the so called professional experts) are able to readily identify the work of this master, and/or his sons, or others who may have received instruction from Stradivari. Every production bears the salient and characteristic style of his work, they are all quite beautiful (even if not so well preserved). And, the luminescent tints, hues and colors of the top varnish and surface preparation will stop the knowledgeable connoissuer dead in his tracks. The varnish is the first and last thing we see! And, there is nothing else like it under the sun, excepting the work of Stradivari's contermporary of the same period, Joseph Antonio Guarneri del Gesu.

∙ 8y agoWell, while it is unsure as to what exactly gave the stradivarius its beautiful tone and sound (people debate between shape, size, f placement, sound bar placement, strings, wood types, age of wood, wood aging and treatment methods, etc), there are about four or five known to deffinately be stradivarius's in people's possession today. At least, upon looking it up, that's what I found. Basically if you want to see the label, you will have to go to the musem that holds one, maybe find a picture online although goodluck with that. Some bank somewhere has one hanging on the wall (what a waste), and I'm sure many are in possession of them unknowingly, or if knowingly, very quietly xD. Other than that they are rented out to some performers for specific events from museums and other companies that purchase them for who knows why.
Chances are that the stradivarius may not even have a label, as some violin makers used seals and even small markings to label their work, so who knows

How can one tell if a violin is a true Stradivarius and not a copy?
AnswerIf you find a Stradivarius You can be assured that it will most likely be a copy. Most of them are in bank vaults or in the care of the world's top violinists. The chances that an owner of a real Stradivarius will allow you to touch his/her instrument is more or less zero, even if you are a professional violinist yourself and even then it would be considered a rude request should you ask to do so. Also, during the early part of the 20th Century thousands of fairly crude "Stradivarius" violins were churned out in the first mass production factories in some European countries. These were true Stradivarius models since Stradivarius basically standardized the modern shape of the violin with his longer sloped neck. Invariably they were terrible instruments and are virtually worthless today. Modern factory-made violins are much better and some are even quite excellent. But your chance of actually running into a real Stradivarius? Very low, the only way you could find one is if it was stolen or a Strad. that had been lost for a long time. Even so, if you think it might be one, you should take it to an experience violin maker to be sure you aren't sitting on an attic treasure! It's not impossible to come across one but very rare: what makes it possible World War II the spoils of war if prominent wealthy holders were jewish then that would be key. You would find the makers markers label most removed to smuggle and second pray it was maintained over the years (it must be played to maintain it's sound and kept in ideal conditions) commonly loss of label for smuggling and poor maintenance it most likly loose any potential as a $3 million dollar instrument most are really fakes selling the notion as surviving the holocust and Hitler's regime. If it was well there is a registry of jewish stolen properties so good luck!
Is the Red Violin a true story?
No, it's entirely fictional - even down to the make of the violin (Nicolo Bussotti)! Does have a good bit of lore and a couple of real-life inspirations mixed in, though, like for example the red violin itself is inspired by Stradivarius's Red Mendelssohn (which is NOT tinted with blood!).

How much should you sell an antonius stradivarious cremonenfis faciebat anno 17 violin for?
If you find a violin with the label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis" don't get excited too quickly. It is nearly certain that it is not genuine. Sometimes violin makers who would put the names of other makers on their own violins to increase the price. Also restorers often use labels, sometimes genuine, but often forged, in instruments, and there is a big business in labels. Violin experts do not judge the value of a violin by its label. The label may even be missing from a genuine violin; it is almost certainly to be found on a forgery. A label might read: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17 The name Cremonensis will probably include the long s that looks rather like an f: Cremonenfis. This might be followed by circles with crosses, initials or other signs. These are made to be completed at the time the instrument is finished. The violin maker did not wish to have new labels printed each year, so the rest of the date is written by hand. A completed label should read "... Anno 1715" or "... Anno 1707", or at least an year of the 18th century. Some of these violins cannot be called fakes. For example a label like: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis / Faciebat Anno 1721 / Made in BohemiaThis is more like a joke than a forgery, like finding a coin with the abbreviation B. C. stamped on it. Stradivarius never learnt English, and all his labels were printed in Latin.

What is the value of a Violin marked Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1716?
In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine. The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.
Value of antonius stradiuarius cremonenfis faciebat anno 17 made in Germany worth?
Said label was applied to thousands of cheap violins in a bid to convince some amateur musicians or would be musicians that they were buying a quality instrument. Unfortunately, you instrument is likely to be worth just pennies. All the genuine Strads have verifiable histories of ownership so the chances of anyone discovering another genuine violin made by Stradivarius is zero.
Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1736?
Have you found a violin with the label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis"? Keep cool. It's almost certainly a fake. In the past some restorers have stuck labels (genuine or forged) inside instruments of various origins and there has been a proper business in labels, apart from the selling of violins. There have also been cases of old-time violin makers who would put the names of other contemporary makers on their own violins. Factories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries also labeled instruments as such by the thousands.Nowadays, no violin expert would judge the value of a violin by its label.Labels such as "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17", followed or not by circles with crosses, initials or other particular signs are made (in series) to be completed before being stuck on the instrument: actually "... Anno 17" shows only the first two numerals of any year of the 18th century. A complete label should read "... Anno 1715" or "... Anno 1707", or at least an year of the 18th century.There are also cases where you can't even seriously talk of fakes. A label like the following: "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis / Faciebat Anno 1721 / Made in Bohemia" is a joke rather a fake, considering that Stradivari never learned English. However, if you wish to learn more about the quality of the instrument you should take it to a violin maker, who will let you know if it is a good quality instrument. He may not be able to give you details of the period or school, but will be able to tell you if it was made by a good craftsman or on an assembly line. The addresses of violin makers, under the headings of States, can be found in the Reports of magazines for enthusiasts such as "Strad" or "String".If, after the first check, the violin maker recognizes a particular quality in the instrument, it may be worth while asking for a specialist's appraisal (Expertise) on the part of an expert and connoisseur (usually a restorer or well-known maker) who will issue a certificate of attribution and an estimate of the instrument's value. The cost of the expert's survey is, as a rule, quite modest if it concerns merely a verbal evaluation. There is, instead, a fixed price and a percentage of the instrument's value when a certificate evaluation is wanted.If you so wish, you can have a first opinion from the expert violin makers of the Cremona School of Violin Making (Scuola di Liuteria) sending photographs or colour slides taken in the most professional manner, with shots of the whole instrument and of its details. The evaluation may not be infallible (to value an instrument is not the same thing as valuing its photo), but it is possible to get a general indication. It's the best that can be done without having the instrument to hand.
