Antique violins and mystical

old violins are the instruments of true beauty and value that can be appreciated by collectors and musicians alike. Some violins can be hundreds of years and sometimes sell for millions of dollars. Like fine paintings, the value is often the story behind the violin. There is a large variety of antique violins, many made by artisans accomplished such as Amati, Stradivarius, Vuillaume, Amati, Bergonzi, Guarneri, Gasparo da Salò, Stainer. The violins of these men are valuable and can sometimes be heard performed by top performers in major concert halls around the world.

First violins began to appear in the late 1500s in Italy. Perhaps one of the most famous of the old violins are those made by Stradivarius. His instruments are known by the Latin form its name, or a "Stradivarius" for short. What is not known is that an entire family was responsible for the making of "Stradivarius" violins - Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari family. Most notable among its members was Antonio Stradivari Stradivarius violins Some are even now he is playing better performance worldwide.

It is probably true that Stradivarius violins have become synonymous with exceptional quality. A Stradivarius made in the 1680 or Brescia during Stradivari 1690-1700, will be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more at auction, at today's prices and some reproductions as Antonius Stradivarius with cremonensis made in Czechoslovakia and Germany in early 1700 and mediated by a different manufacturer are said to be worth between 2000 and 3000 U.S. dollars. Because to only about 700 violins stadivarius are believed to exist, are an investment class. The rarity of genuine Stradivarius violins have been making many copies. All real "Stradivarius" to have a label that reads in Latin, "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno" ("Made in Cremona by Antonio Stradivari) with a date at the end of registration.

In fact, replicas began to appear in earnest from the mid 19. These replicas not made to mislead or deceive collectors, but to attract students and others who appreciate the design of these instruments, but had no money to buy originals. Many contemporary violin companies continue to make these replicas, with the hope of perpetuating classic violin designs.Unsurprising taking that the basic design of a violin has been more or less unchanged for 300 years!

Cremona was to be the stage for another family known violin craftsmen. The Amati were prolific from about 1549-1740. Andrea Amati was one of the first violin makers who created the legacy of the Amati family. Nicolo Amati is famous Amati violin to improve production by instruments capable of giving more power tone.Subsequent tonal quality improvements and power can be attributed to Nicolo Amati. In fact, Antonio Stradivari as a child, he was apprenticed to Nicolo Amati, from his violin making career at the tender age of 11. Unfortunately, Amati violins are not as numerous as the Stradivarius. The few that exist are mostly housed in museums around the world.

Old violins not only keep your value, but appreciate over time. Many are essentially priceless, treasured as relics to be hereditary. A large part of his mystique lies in his stories and aesthetic beauty inherent in the craftsmanship and sound. Who is played the instrument? What were their stories? Who heard and where?
