Hello,

My mother has a Stradivarius violin. It has been with her for almost
55 years and is still in very good condition. Touch wood !!!

The label inside it reads: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis, Faciebat
Anno 1713, Made in Czechoslovakia .

Based on the above info, can anybody confirm if my violin is a real
Stradivarius or just a fake. Are there any firms/agencies who can
authenticate this ?????

Presume mine is a fake, what could be its value ????.

I would sincerely appreciate if you can please provide me any further
information on this violin and also on an original Stradivarius
violin.

My email is

Thanks

Stradivari lived and worked in Italy. A Czech copy (labelled in English) would
be a mass-produced student instrument made for export. Some of them sound
good, but they are not very valuable.

True, the "faciebat" says "made like a Strad or modeled after a Strad".

Rajkumar,

Thousands of factory-made violins modeled after the great masters were made
in Germany or German speaking lands before WWII. I have a Maggini. It's
worth about $800, max.

I wonder how one of them ended up in India!

Others have given you the news about the literally millions of violins
labeled with Strad labels. A few points of elaboration....
It is estimated that Antonio Stradivari [his Italian name, the
Stradivarius is a Latinization] made about 1100 instruments during his
very long life. He had a workshop where his sons also helped.
Stradivari was famous in his own lifetime and was able to charge even
then, premium prices for the era and to a large extent had a noble
clientele. The king of Spain bought a whole brace of instruments from
Stradivari for his court. It is estimated that about 450-500 still
exist with most of the others accounted for. The remainder were lost
in wars, plane crashes, floods, earthquakes, bungled repairs and so
on. Since his clientele was upper crust to say the least there are
pretty good records on where each instrument went. Since the early
19th century, a relative handful of dealers in places like Paris,
London and New York have been the brokers for most exchanges of these
instruments. Without the provenance of these dealers, almost no one
today would risk the vast sums of money to buy a Strad [or the equally
expensive Guarneri's, of which there are far fewer.] There have been
almost no "attic Strads" found in the last hundred years, and those
that were found were in the attics of the rich, famous, noble and
royal. There are a few "hot" Strads due to theft [most notorious at
the moment is the violin of the late virtuosa, Erica Morini]. Several
have been recovered...the Huberman Strad which was stolen in the
1930's turned up a number of years ago after 50 years in the
possession of a cafe musician, who posthumously confessed the crime,
or at least the possession after the crime. Virtuoso Pierre Amoyal
had his Strad stolen and was later recovered [he bought a different
one in the interim] and so on.

Speaking of Morini, has there been any news about her Strad? Or is it
still "out there"?

That case fascinates me!

I haven't heard of any recovery. I presume it would be reported in The
Strad or Strings.

"Faciebat Anno" means "made in the year".
