Virtually all of Antonio Stradivarius' instruments that were built during what's considered his 'Golden Age' are known - either their current whereabouts or whether or not they were stolen at some point in history from the owner of the instrument. All Stradivarius instruments have provenance (it can be historically traced to the maker and previous owners).

There are several Stradivari instruments that are still missing after being stolen or lost, and it's always possible to find one - one such violin was found to be in use by an amateur violinist. There of course were no charges filed, and a settlement was reached. But the best way to know is to contact the Stradivari Society.

Given the small number of known Stradivari instruments (about 700) and the small number of those still missing, the odds of finding one of those missing instruments are pretty long. Since many manufacturers over the years, as well as forgers, have made copies and called them Stradivarius, it's more likely to have a copy than an original.

It can sometimes be really hard to tell if you are the proud owner of a Stradivarius. Around the 1930's sellers were shipping into America and other countries by placing Antonio Stradivari's name on their instruments, they did this because if their instruments were labeled as antiques ( i.e. A Stradivarius) they did not have to pay for a shipping charge.

If your instrument has a sticker inside it that says its a strad., it isn't. Antonio engraved his name into the wood of the instrument. However the only way to tell for sure that it is a Stradivarius is to have it examined by a luthier that has a history clarification on Stradivarius'.

How much should you sell an antonius stradivarious cremonenfis faciebat anno 17 violin for?

If you find a violin with the label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis" don't get excited too quickly. It is nearly certain that it is not genuine. Sometimes violin makers who would put the names of other makers on their own violins to increase the price. Also restorers often use labels, sometimes genuine, but often forged, in instruments, and there is a big business in labels. Violin experts do not judge the value of a violin by its label. The label may even be missing from a genuine violin; it is almost certainly to be found on a forgery. A label might read: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17 The name Cremonensis will probably include the long s that looks rather like an f: Cremonenfis. This might be followed by circles with crosses, initials or other signs. These are made to be completed at the time the instrument is finished. The violin maker did not wish to have new labels printed each year, so the rest of the date is written by hand. A completed label should read "... Anno 1715" or "... Anno 1707", or at least an year of the 18th century. Some of these violins cannot be called fakes. For example a label like: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis / Faciebat Anno 1721 / Made in BohemiaThis is more like a joke than a forgery, like finding a coin with the abbreviation B. C. stamped on it. Stradivarius never learnt English, and all his labels were printed in Latin.

What is the value of a Antonius Stradiuarius cremonsis faciebat anno 1721 AS?

It is impossible for even a luthier to value a violin based on a label because many of the cheapest violins tend to paste a Stradivarius or Guarnerius label in their violins in an attempt to increase the value. However, this violin is most likely not a true Stradivarius made by Antonius Stradivarius himself. In fact, you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than finding a real Stradivarius.


Who invented the violin not who was the first maker?

Nobody really invented the violin. It originated from ancient Middle Eastern instruments that evolved as it traveled to Europe. The first person to create today's style of violin was Antonius Stradivarius.


Your dad found a violin and the label on the inside says Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1715 and then a cross with and A and S on at the bottom of the cross there are no other marks?

Well, what about it? I can tell you that unless it says Antonius Stadovarius replica, that it is probably worth a lot of money. Maybe even up to $10,000 if it is in good condition. If it says on the label "Made in Czechoslovakia", then it is most definitely a fake. I'm actually inclined to believe that most if not all of these Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17xx violins are fakes. --------- Most Stradivari labeled instruments are fake and a large percentage don't say copy of or replica. There are only about 500 of his instruments still in existence, so if yours is real it's probably stolen. David Lashof


What is the value of a Violin marked Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1716?

In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine. The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.
