What is a Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona worth?
Nicolaus Amatus violins were produced in the mid to late 1600s. Since then, many reproductions have been made. The chance of owning a 400 year old violin is slim to none, check with an antique specialist for authentication.
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 came first the ukulele or guitar?
Unfortunately, the answer from Ducks3599 is absolutely false. The cello DID NOT come before the violin and Louis Spohr was certainly NOT the "creator" of the violin as L. Spohr lived mostly in the 19th century. First mentions or depictions of violin go back to the 12-13th centuries. The 'cello (short of violoncello) did not come into the view until the 15th century. -------- While this information is technically correct, the violin and cello, in basically their current form, both came into being in the mid 1500's as being designed by Andreas Amati. "Violins" prior to that time had a different shape and less strings. Other instruments that they evolved from, such as the viola da gamba, had versions that were of similar size to both but had more strings and frets.
