would like to know what my Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1645 is worth.
How much is a nicalus amatus fecit in caremona 16 worth
One sold in 2004 for over 200,000 US dollars. These are very rare violins and the chances of owning one outside of being a collecter or performer is unlikely to say the least...
$50
It wouldn't be worth the $15million that was mentioned, however, an original Amati, depending on condition, would go for several hundred thousand to a million or so. They are rare. I own an original, incase you are wondering how I know.

The liklihood is that this instrument is a fake. But, there is a remote possibility that it might be genuine. You need to have it looked at by Christie's in New York or London to ascertain it's authenticity or otherwise. If I handled the item, I would be able to immediately confirm it's age but I cannot tell you how to do it yourself. It has taken me 54 years of buying and selling every conceivable type of item to be able to to pass an accurate assessment of an item.

I know they are student violins, but anytime i google cremona, there is always a series (SV-100 or SV-250 for example), and I can't find any indication of what series this violin might be in. I would like to find out if it's worth $50 or more like $300
I have a similar label on my violin except the date reads 1726. These violins were made in Germany quite possibly Mittenwald, in the 1880s. The instrument if fixed properly and in good working condition should sound a lot better than the cheap merchandise that's being made today. You might want to bring it to a professional luthier for evaluation. Here is the link for an auction a few years back for a violin with nearly the same label. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/musical-instruments/a-violin-mittenwald-circa-1880-4970632-details.aspx?pos=10&intObjectID=4970632&sid=&page=5?intObjectID=4970632 I hope this answers your question. Good luck.
I would estimate the value at approximately $1500.00. The 1713 is the year it was made. It is a Stradivarius copy, not the Original and was made by Durro who copied Stradivarrius.
I have one too... if yours is in playable condition, it might be worth about $750 or thereabouts to a violinist. Early in the 20th century, there was a folk movement for more pastoral times. German luthiers made modern-day interpretations of lutes and violins, etc. My violin (by BKN) is a nicely made copy of a 1721 Stradavarius, albeit several machined metal parts give it away as a 1920s-1940s build. The violin may be worth more to a history buff or antiques collector.
$150.00-$200.00 Is your violin available for sale? I saw this posting from a while ago. Although I'm not the one who answered as to the value earlier, I would like to inquire as to whether or not it is still available. I collect old violins. Jared jlescoe@gmail.com
That depends on a number of factors.1. The instrument may indeed have been made in 1720, or it could be a repleca of an instrument made in 1720 (which is far more likely) and in such a case, the value may not be as great as you might expect.2. The quality of the instrument's craftsmanship goes a long way towards its end value. If it was hand made, that's a plus. If it was made by a reputable maker, that's even better.3. The actual age of the instrument. The older the violin, the more it is worth, typically.4. The current condition of the instrument plays a huge role in value as well. If you have a cracked back or face, or if the seams are opening up or if the fingerboard is cracked or warn down the value drops significantly. One can drop a lot of money into repairing an instrument to playable status.5. The quality of tone, resonance, and responsiveness that the player can get out of the instrument also plays a vital role in how much players are willing to pay for the instrument. And believe it or not, players will pay far more than collectors ever will... because it is their livelyhood.The best way to determine the worth of an instrument is to take it to a reputable repair shop and have it apraized. If they tell you it's valuable, you can have it repaired and sold, or you can keep it for yourself. However, it's always good to have quality instruments be placed in the hands of someone who is capable of playing it to its full potential.I did happen to find one instrument, a Laurentius Storioni fecit Cremonae 1790 Douglas Cox 2001 Brattleboro Vt #438 that was being sold for $16,000 USD from a dealer.
