What is the value of a strata various violin?
You mean Stradivarius? A Strad typically costs millions, ranging anywhere from just seven digits to eight digits.
Is my antonius stradivarious cremonenfis faciebat anno 1728 violin real the number is not hand written and its been in my family at least 100 years?
First of all, I don't mean to be pessimistic, but the chances of you owning a Strad are slim to none. If you did own one, it would be worth millions of dollars, and the violin's tone (sound production) can tell you whether or not it could possibly be worth that much money. I you're still convinced that you do have a "real" Strad, I'm sorry to tell you that the label is incorrect if it says "Antonius Stradivarious Cremonenfis" because the correct name would actually be "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis". In addition, if the label is not handwritten, then it is almost definitely a copy of a Strad because as I'm sure you know, Stradivarius did not have a computer (or any other machine of this sort) to print out little violin labels. Many modern luthiers make replicas of Stradivarius's work to try to match his instruments, but none have succeeded. Since your violin has been in your family for at least 100 years, the label was most likely made to trick violin collectors and buyers of that time into thinking that they were about to own a Strad, so that they would pay more money. Many other luthiers also made their own instruments and labeled them as Strads so that they would be bought. Right now, we have enough technology to tell if a Strad is authentic or not, so the old labels don't serve their intended purpose. It is also possible that this label could be from a completely different violin, and that the two labels were switched. Maybe the label from this violin got lost, so one a fake one was made to replace it. Believe me, everyone would love to have a Strad, but the only way to be completely sure is to get the violin authenticated.
What was Nathan Milstein's preferred violin?
Stradivari. He played a 1716 Strad his entire adult life.
Violin and it says antonius stradivarius cremonensis faclebat anno 1713 is the violin real?
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.
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!

When were copies made of Antonius Stradivarius violins made in Germany?
I JUST READ THAT THEY WERE MADE BETWEEN 1921 AND WWII. I had heard that for years. People would look at my violin because the color was really different and it was so loud and has such a good tone. When they would look inside the f hole they would say this is a German Strad Copy made in the 20s and sold by Sears. One day the back started to separate from the side. I sent it to a repairman who had also told me the same thing about it being a 1920s Sears Strad copy. He was excited to find it was signed on the inside top by a guy who made it in Germany in 1858. I later found out when Sears contracted with Germany back in the 20's. Instead of falling short on supplies, they were grabbing any violin of decent quality no matter the age or maker if they fit into the category Strad Copy they would slap the label inside that was block printed Stradivarius Copy of etc.. The only way to really know how old or where the strad copy was made is to accidentally find a pencil written signature and date inside the belly of the violin. Don't let someone just run up and tell you what you have by looking at the label inside. I have a Strad Copy with "Berlin 6009" written inside. Next to it there is an old label that states it was repaired in 1886 by a man named George Harms of Evansville, IN.

What is a 180 b flat trumpet?
Quote: "The Bach Stradivarius 18037 Lacquer Professional Bb Trumpet is the preferred instrument of most professional players. The Bach Strad trumpet's standard weight body and bell, and standard construction #25 mouthpipe bring depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and response to this instrument. The 18037 Strad Bb Trumpet is one of the most popular of all Bach trumpets for good all-around playing." from: http://www.bizrate.com/orchestral-instruments/bach-180-37-stradivarius-bb-trumpet--pid590421863/

Would a violin marked liuariun cremonensis anno 1716 be of some value?
These violins are well documented Stradivarius replicas. There are several versions, however a German and French version, which were made in the late 1890's - the late 1920's are the most popular. Even though they are replicas, they are still high quality instruments. The price vale on either version depends on the overall condition, and the quality of sound it produces. I have seen near mint condition ones go for $3,500.00, however I have also seen battered ones go for around $100.00. That's a far cry from the last, Strad, that went at auction for almost $16,000,000.00. A real Stradivarius violin would be around 300 years old, however many blind studies have shown no sound difference between authentic Stradivariuses and copies (crazy huh). The maker of your violin is telling you flat out, it's a replica of a particular Stradivarius originally crafted by Antonius Stradivarius in the year 1728. I would say to find yourself an online appraiser who is willing to appraise it, free of charge, by viewing HD close-up photos. If you take to a dealer just remember, they are in the business of making money, they will try to get it as cheap as they can!

How can you read notes from the violin?
I can't resist... They are very susceptible to flowers and chocolates! No, really, the answer is that there are specialists in musical instrument history (organology) who specialize in fixing the date of Stradivarius violins and their close cousins from the Cremona era. Actually, if you have something in your hand that claims to be a Stradivarius, the one thing you can be sure of right off is that it isn't a Stradivarius. The existing instruments built by the great Strad are museum pieces or in the hands of famous (and very virtuoso) violinists. They sell for millions (when, rarely, they sell) and are tracked very closely. However, for centuries, violin makers, using the Stradivarius design, have been making violin copies of the Master and labeling them just "Stradivarius" in hopes that they can bilk the unwary into paying more than they are worth for the violins they make. I had originally remarked somewhat ironically that you could take an instrument, that you were convinced was a legitimate, unrecognized work of the Master's Hand to the Nation's Museum and ask the curators to check it, but as dlashof correctly pointed out, the Curators of the Smithsonian shouldn't be treated that way. So really, take it to a local luthier, they will be able to tell you many things about your fiddle, including recognizing if it is more than a copy of a copy.)
What is the most expensive violin?
Although the Stradivarius is noted as perhaps the most renowned, the most expensive auction-priced violin is the Guarneri Del Gesu in the possession of master violinist Pinchas Zukerman. Owner Maxim Viktorov bought this instrument at a staggering 3.9 million US dollars and decided to lend it to Zukerman to give the violin its full potential.
