A few hundred dollars for the 200,000 or so fakes that are around. 1.5 million for a genuine one, but there were only 1000 of those made and not many have survived for 279 years.
it depends on the age, type, and quality of the viola
Due to the fact that Antonius Stradivarius was born in 1644, I don't think it would be worth much. :)
A copy of a 1721 Stradivarius violin is actually not worth very much. On the retail market they can be found for about $175 to $400.
First, all violins made before the 20th century are hand made, and most today still are.Antonius Stradivarius lived from 1644-1737. If you had one of the Cremona Violins made by Antonius it would be worth several hundred thousand dollars. Even copies are still worth several thousand dollars.His sons, Francesco Stradivarius (1671-1743) and Omobono Stradivarius (1679-1742), worked with him and continued the craft after his death, and they aren't worth quite as much, but are still highly sought after.What you probably have is a copy made by Ferdinandus Gagliano. He was alive during that time-frame and made violins branded with Stradivarius. I can't give you an exact price, but hopefully someone else can take this information and give you a more proper assessment. If I were in possession of it, I wouldn't sell it for less than $3,000 USD
I'm not sure exactly how much but I know it can be up to about 5 million dollars.
How much is a nicalus amatus fecit in caremona 16 worth
About 75% of the original price.
Stradivarius violins are very expensive violins that some professionals use because of their excellent tone and sound quality. They are of much better quality than standard violins that most people have.
probably more than my house. O_O
One Shilling GBP in 1731 had the purchasing power of about £6.99 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
It's not really handmade by Karl Knilling. Karl Knilling is just a ficticious trade name for German-made violins imported and sold by U.S. BAND & ORCHESTRA SUPPLIES, INC from St. Louis, Missouri. Your model, in good shape and set up with a good bridge and strings, a bow and the hardshell case it probably came in, might fetch about $250 in excellent condition, and about $150 if it shows signs of wear and use. That's not to say they're cheap instruments, but because they're mass-produced student level instruments, they're never going to be worth much. The model you have was probably made in the late 1980s to early 1990s.
If authentic, it would sell in the millions of dollars. However, it is unlikely to be an authentic Stradivarius. The Stradivarius model has become the most standard violin model to copy, and many German factory makers of the late 19th to mid 20th century especially put the name Stradivarius with a year on their instruments. If it would be one of these instruments, it could still be worth between $1000 and $3000 dollars.
