Antoni Stradivaria made only 60 cellos. One of them is owned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This $3.5 million instrument was stolen from its player's front porch, and was nearly turned into a CD holder before it was retrieved.
Can you rephrase the question please? Do you mean: Do cheap violins sound good? If that is what you mean, I can answer that. I have just passed my grade 4 with merit, so I know quite a bit about violins. It really depends on the player, you see. But the older the violin is the better it sounds. I am just about to by a good, old one. the price range for older ones, are probably minimum of £650-£700, minimum. The older it is, the better the wood is. The most bottom range that you can get of violins is an Antoni. Starter violins. I recommend you start on an Antoni, as they are very cheap, so if you decide that you don't want to play anymore, then you havn't lost lots of money. If you definitely are going to play, then try a Stentor violin. That is better, and it costs about £80-£150. I hope you found this helpful.
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.
