  • Hi friend. I just got a "Stradivarius 1727", which I guess must be a replica. I have no Idea where it was made or when. It is in rough conditions and I really want to get it repair/restored, but where I live there's no place they do that kind of work. So I guess I must ship it somewhere in the USA to get it done. Do you think that might be a good idea??

  • @silvania1989 That depends on how much you have invested in the instrument I guess. If this is an instrument that you will be playing on a lot, then it is worth getting fixed. Be cautious of shipping an instrument, make sure it is packaged properly and pay the extra for insurance!

  • Of course you should restore it! Violins like that can sound even better after a good repair, especially if it is a real Stradivarius. Be careful who you take the repair to in your area, make sure you take it to a real Luthier. Someone without the proper training could damage the instrument further instead of fixing it. Thank you!
