Antique violins: Who and When?

The aesthetic beauty of an antique violin is something that can be enjoyed by both musicians and collectors alike. Some violins can be hundreds of years old and sometimes sell for millions of dollars. These are instruments of great value for their historic significance. There are a many varieties of antique violins, many made such consummate craftsmen as Amati, Stradivari, Vuillaume, Amati, Bergonzi, Guarneri, Gasparo da Salo, stainer. There is also a wide variety of antique violins available, some of these one-of-a-kind treasures.

It was in Italy in the late 16th century that the first violins made their debut. Probably among the most popular antique violins are made by Stradivarius. His instruments are known by the Latin form of his name, or as "Strads" for short. In fact it is slightly inaccurate because it implies that there was only a Stradivarius. In fact, Stradivarius violins were actually built by the 17th century Italian luthier Stradivari family, especially by Antonio Stradivari. Several Stradivarius violins even now played by the top performers in the world.

Many have argued that is the pinnacle of Stradivarius violins. A Stradivarius made in the 1680s, or Stradivari's Brescian meantime 1690-1700, could be worth several hundred thousands of dollars or more at auction, the price today and some reproductions as Antonius Stradivarius made in cremonensis in Czechoslovakia and Germany in the early and mid 1700s through a variety of manufacturers are said to be worth between of 2000-3000 dollars. It is estimated that only 700 genuine Stradivarius violins exist, and for this reason they are a sought after investment. Because many fake out there, the Stradivarius violins are verified. Indeed very very Strads are inscribed the words made by Antonius Stradivari Cremona and dated. brand It is written in Latin

Many European Violin makers began making replicas of early violins in the mid-19 th century. These replicas are not made to confuse Trick or collectors, but to appeal to students and other people who appreciated the design of the instrument but do not have the money to purchase the original. Many contemporary violin companies continue to make replicas in the hope of perpetuating classic violin designs.This strategy makes sense when people realize that the basic design of the violin is somewhat not changed since the 18th century such as antique violins have also provided models for current Violin makers to follow.

Cremona is to become the scene for another renowned violin family of craftsmen. The Amati's are prolific from about 1549 to 1740. Andrea Amati is one of the earliest violin makers make Amati family legacy. Nicolo Amati is famous for improving the Amati violin making by instruments capable of more soft power tone.Subsequent improvements the quality of voice and power can be attributed to Nicolo Amati. In fact, historical records indicate that the now famous Antonio Stradivari was apprenticed to Nicolo from at age 11 or older. Sadly, Amati violins are not nearly as much as Strads. Some life is mostly housed in museums around the world.

So it is that, antique violins are like priceless heirlooms that not only hold their value, but the increase in value over time. A large part of their mystique lies in their stories and the aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship inherent in their sound. When holding an antique violin one are drawn to the rich tapestry of history surrounding it. How many players have seen it? Who listened and under what circumstances? All these questions make up the mystique of the antique violin.
