      I've got one of them too....I reacted kinda like that. You never really expect something to ACTUALLY be worth 700k, youre constantly waiting for that other shoe to drop, so when it does youre like yep...this is how my life goes. Getting that kind of money all at once would be LIFE CHANGING, and we're conditioned to know deep down that our life isn't gonna change.

    Yep I was at a goodwill a few months ago and came across one of these violins. So took it to the back of the store, sat on one of the couches and researched and found out his violins were copied as an omage many times over the years and finding a real one is pretty much impossible as all the ones he originally made were accounted for. So I put it back.

    Stradivarius violins were always highly sought after. In the 1700s his violins were prized possessions played by the greatest violinists at that time. No, it was never a law. There's so many GREAT Strad copies that go for 10s of thousands that have what looks to be the real label. Some are literally 300 year old violins that people 175 years ago placed the label on. So the likelihood of finding a Stradivarius anywhere other than museums and the very wealthy are absolutely 0.

    • @volundrfrey896
      @volundrfrey896 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      All of them are not truly accounted for, we do not know the exact number of violins (and other instruments he made) he made, nor the exact number of the surviving ones. The common estimate is that roughly 1100 strads were ever produced, and 244 of them are known and accounted for today.
      Most of the missing ones are probably lost to time but there might be more surviving strads out there, very difficult to prove if you happen to have one though.

    I’ve heard from a lot of violinists that the violin market is actually super weird. Professionals will actually turn down genuine strad violins just to keep the price up. Apparently there’s actually way more strads out there than the industry says just because they don’t want the average person to be able to have one. It’s super crazy, I have a friend whose a professional violinist. Her whole life she’s owned a strad violin, she went in 13 times to get it authenticated and each time they turned it down. But once she became a professional and started playing in huge concerts all those people that looked at it started sending her letters saying they’ve changed their minds and it is authentic.
