I am selling a very beautiful example of this violin size 1/2 on eBay (dated 26 December 2008), it is in excellent condition and has a one piece front AND a one piece back.
It is fully set up with brand new Thomastick Vision cords (better than Dominante) and comes with a bow and a case (of hard cardboard) but good enough for shipping.
Take a look at my advert number : 230316171971
Thanks for looking,
Best wishes, Bart
Virtually all of Antonio Stradivarius' instruments that were built during what's considered his 'Golden Age' are known - either their current whereabouts or whether or not they were stolen at some point in history from the owner of the instrument. All Stradivarius instruments have provenance (it can be historically traced to the maker and previous owners). There are several Stradivari instruments that are still missing after being stolen or lost, and it's always possible to find one - one such violin was found to be in use by an amateur violinist. There of course were no charges filed, and a settlement was reached. But the best way to know is to contact the Stradivari Society. Given the small number of known Stradivari instruments (about 700) and the small number of those still missing, the odds of finding one of those missing instruments are pretty long. Since many manufacturers over the years, as well as forgers, have made copies and called them Stradivarius, it's more likely to have a copy than an original.
no im not sure but u can find them in Czechoslovakia
Depends, Bach Stradivarius trumpets first started in 1925 and they are still being made. The best (and many times only) way to find out the year is to check the serial number.
find out yourself
According to an interview on Sept 27, 2004 with Reinhold Beckman Rieu owns an original Antonio Stradivari violin dated to 1667. "Yes, this is a very special violin, in my personal opinion. It was his second violin and he was pretty young. He was 23 years old, just married and I think you can hear that he was in love at the time. This thing took part in everything." If correct, this would be Dubois Stradivarius though I can find no other references to indicate that this instrument is owned by Reiu.
He owns four, actually: * General Kyd Stradivarius (1714) * Soil Stradivarius (1714) * Sauret Guarnerius del Gesu (1743) * ex-Kreiser Bergonzi (1740) The ones he uses primarily in public performances are the Soil Stradivarius and the Sauret G del Gesu. One most likely will not find these instruments in the local music store ... these can be very rare items and do cost thousands and thousands of dollars. When you are Itzhak Perlman, you can afford those without question.
Take it to a violin shop for an evaluation. Labels in instruments only take moments to insert and are more iften misleading or false than real.
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!
