Hi, friends, I have a violin, very good copy of 1703, some one want to buy it, but I don't know the value, base on the voice, any one can give me an advice on it's rough value? thank you!
@redviolin1231 No one has said they should only be looked at and not played. Where did you get that idea? All I'm saying is that the description text written about this violin says that it is played in concert but it cannot be played 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it is on display for people to admire it when it is not being played. That's what museums do; they preserve and protect rare and valuable historic items that might otherwise go extinct if at least some of them were not preserved
It is wonderful but personaly I wouldn't want to own it. Constantly worried wh will steal it and can't take it out and play it afraid of its safety. Why own something you can't play? Its amazing sure pretty to look at but there is alot more other things that I could do with that much money including buy many violins that can be played without fret. I am in no way downing it I am only just saying.
@ambersdarkfox good point; they're not for everyone and not everyone can afford one, or would want to own one even if they could. However, of the ones that survive today, I would venture to say that most of them do get played from time to time..... including this one.
I would give my life just to play that instrument; like i saw this, and i have no more taste in any other violins anymore. This one is absolutely breathtaking. just beautiful.
You can pause freeze frame the screen at anytime, like to read the description of this rare and beautiful instrument. Nice clear photos offer the viewer a clear pause that you might not get with amateur video that's clicked on pause, so, there are trade-offs of photos vs. video. In any case, it is what it is and one of of my most popular.
@HorsiesYay Perhaps a secret society prefers not to disclose such "secrets" to craftsmen. They keep the secrets to themselves, just like each respective government on the planet. Maybe their primary objectives are historical preservation and monetary gain.
@HorsiesYay That's a good question, but I've read that around this period (1709) parts of the world were experiencing a mini ice-age, and this slight climate cooling trend effected the consistency of the wood of certain trees. If a tree grows slowly, as it would in a colder climate, the rings within the bark would be closer together, and the wood has a higher density and therefore better acoustic properties. It's quite fascinating really.
@lolturtle13 Security is an issue. If you own a violin that's worth millions of dollars then extra precaution has to be taken as to where it is stored, how it is protected, who can handle it, etc. As for this one featured in my slide show video, it is played occasionally in concerts but it is also on public display when not being played so that people can actually see what one looks like up close, even if they can't handle it.
what a beautiful instruement just thinking which current soloist i would like to hear playing it
maybe repin, vengerov, laila (josefowiz), perlman

Oh my... I'd love to time travel to Stradivarius' time, buy about twenty violins, and take it back to the present - and sit there and play them...

The wood used to build a Stradivarius is very hard to find!
