All Viola d'amore's are currently hand made. As typical of such instruments, the lower end range is from about 3000 to 5000 dollars (U.S.) with higher prices being fairly common.

Jacqueline Du Pré's Stradivarius cello, crafted in 1673, is considered one of the most valuable cellos in the world. While it's difficult to assign a specific price due to its historical significance and rarity, similar instruments have sold for millions of dollars at auction.

Ultimately, its true worth may be even higher due to its legacy and the impact of Du Pré's artistry.
