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.

How many Lady Blunt Stradivarius violins were made?

There are many Stradivarius violins. However, each has its own unique nickname, and there is only one nicknamed Lady Blunt. 'Twas named after Lord Byron's granddaughter, Lady Anne Blunt.


Is there a register of Stradivarius violins?

There no collecters, there are owners. one should be so lucky as to own just one. Read the history of Stradivarius and you will understand. It's not as simple as stated above! Antonio Stradivari's instruments became famous during his lifetime, as have many other "modern" violins have become famous in their maker's lifetime. Because of this, Stradivari's instruments were coveted by many people, especially professional violinists and the wealthy who appreciated them. Some of the wealthiest collectors even owned several fine examples by the same maker at the same time. It is important to know that not all of the old master's instruments have been 'accounted for'. Some were destroyed through various accidents, wars, or some other calamity. Some have even been stolen and never seen since: but a few have been recovered in a short time and even fewer - after several decades of invisibility. Also, if you ever hear someone say they have a Stradivarius, it's probably a less than equal copy that says "copy of Stradivarius" inside the body.


I have an old violin that belonged to my grandfather. It is marked Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faceiebat Anno 16 Germany. Can you tell me about it and its value?

The Stradivarius set the standard for luthiers ever since the 1600s, so the fact that it is a Stradivarius alone makes it incredibly valuable. Be wary, though, as many luthiers tried to pass off their violins for Stradivari over the years. It is quite an early one (most were made in the 1700s) and it is very unusual to see it marked as German as Stradivarius was an Italian. I would definitely seek out an antiques expert and get a valuation. To check if it is a real Stradivarius, look for the crest. It has two strange fish on it, separated by a wave motif. Do not worry if there is no crest anywhere - they often come off with age, and later luthiers may have wanted to pass it off as their own. Another Stradivari crest is a circle with 'A S' (for Antoni Stradivari) and a cross in it.

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!

Does suzan erens have a CD?

No and don't look for one any time soon. Unless your satisfied with the cds that Andre Rieu has with her on them .I'm not.Her decision to start teaching will kill that idea I really think Suzan Mulders is killing off Suzan Erens.


What does mean that It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not by Andr Gide?

This quote by Andr Gide suggests that it is more important to be true to yourself, even if it means being disliked by others, rather than pretending to be someone you are not in order to gain approval. It emphasizes the importance of authenticity and staying true to one's own values and beliefs, even if it means facing criticism.

Is a Bach Prelude good quality trumpet?

"Nothing wrong with a Bach instrument. Many high school bands here have used them for years." Yes, but the Prelude line is intended for beginners on a tight budget. We have a few in our school district, and they are fine for young students. Bach has a reputation for making great trumpets (I own two myself), and the Stradivarius is their top model. The Omega or Mercedes lines would be fine as intermediate instruments.
