Antique violins and mystical
The aesthetic beauty of an antique violin is something that can be appreciated by musicians and collectors. These violins can be hundreds of years and can sell for thousands if not millions of dollars. As the fine paintings, the value comes often with the story behind the violin. There a many varieties of old violins, several were made by craftsmen such as consumed Amati, Stradivari, Vuillaume, Amati, Bergonzi, Guarneri, Gasparo da Salò, Stainer. There are also a variety of old violins available, some of them one-of-a-treasure nature.
It was in Italy in the late 16th century that the first violins made their debut. Perhaps the most famous old violins are those made by Stradivarius. His instruments are known by the Latinized form of his name or as "Strada" for short. In fact, somewhat inaccurate because it suggests there was only one Stradivarius. In fact, Stradivarius violins were actually built in the 17th century by Italian violin maker Stradivari family, particularly Antonio Stradivari. Some Stradivarius violins are still played today by the most powerful around the world.
The name "Stradivarius" has also become a superlative applied to designate excellence. A Stradivarius made in 1680s, or during a period of Stradivari Brescia from 1690-1700, could be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more at auction at today's prices and some reproductions as with Cremonensis Antonius Stradivarius made in Czechoslovakia and Germany in the 1700s and early the middle by a different manufacturer are said to be worth between 2000 and 3000 dollars. Because only about 700 violins stadivarius are believed to exist, they are a prime investment tool. As there are many fake there, the Stradivarius violins are authenticated. Indeed Strada authentic words are inscribed facts Cremona by Antonius Stradivarius and dated. This inscription is in Latin
Luthiers many European countries have begun to make imitations of violins in the early mid 19 th century. The objective of these replicas is to provide students and music fans with the opportunity purchase an instrument of similar design at a fraction of the cost. This practice of imitating classical models of major makers continues even today.This strategy makes sense when people realize that the basic design of the violin has been relatively unchanged since the 18th century such as violins Alumni have also provided models for current Violin makers to follow.
Cremona was to be the scene of another famous family of violin craftsmen. Amati has been prolific, from about 1549-1740. Andrea Amati was a leading luthiers who created the legacy of the Amati family. Nicolo Amati is famous for improving the Amati violin producing instruments capable of giving greater power tone.Subsequent improvements in tonal quality and power can be attributed to Nicolo Amati. Indeed, Antonio Stradivari as a child, served as an apprentice of Nicolo Amati, beginning his career of violin at the age of 11 years. Unfortunately, Amati violins are not as numerous as Strada. The few that exist are often preserved in museums around the world.
Thus, old violins are like priceless objects that not only hold their value, but increase in value over time. Their attraction lies in their history and beauty – both in terms of sound and look. Who played the instrument? What were their stories? Who listened to and where? All these questions form the mystique of ancient violin.
