Is a Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1765 made in Germany a copy?
Yes, it is NOT a real Stradivarius. The man who made the famous violins was Antonio Stradivari....and he died in 1737. So, there is no possible way he made the violin.
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.
What is a copy of Antonius Stradivarius made in Germany year 1800 worth?
It seriously depends o who makes the copy, some copies are absolutely wonderfully done where others are horrible. If you go back to the first part of the 20th century, international copyrights were not well enforced. There are many "Stradivarius" violins from that time which are not even copies of a true Stradivarius, just ordinary violins with that tradename.

Why are antique violins so desireable?
While newer violins can have a beautiful tone, the older a violin is, it gerneally has a very deap tone colour. This tone is what makes 'antique' violins valuable, because they are older and it is hard to buy a new violin with the tone that is desirable for certain types of music.
