All of the violin world - even young children - with Antonio Stradivari and the violins carry that his "Stradivarius" brand. The reputation of the Stradivarius violin comes from its visual and musical beauty. They are excellent instruments capable of equally amazing music, and the remarkable prices that collectors pay for them is a testament to the high esteem that the world pays this fine art. For all those who played the harp, the Italian violin is the ultimate instrument. Italy has some of the best craftsmen in the history of the violin.

There are the big ones, such as Amati and Guarneri, but none are as well known as Stradivarius. His instruments are sought after and are still respected. If a pupil of Amati, he in his masterpiece. In some string groups, other of Stradivari's creations - violas, cellos, harps, and / or guitars - accompany his priceless violins, since those were not the only instruments he crafted. There are more than two-thirds of its regularly play still existing instruments, the musicians are still happy.

Given the fact that death all the way back in 1737, the enduring quality of his workmanship is certainly indisputable. There are two distinguishing characteristics of the Stradivarius violins addition to any other string instrument, by a Luthier. (The Luthier's artisans of all kinds of stringed musical instrument. The word comes from the root "sounds.") The first building was characteristic, as the style of the bending and the curvature of the central part and the case has been modernized. In addition, Stradivari modified in fat and lean parts of the body to a precise measurement, which he developed in the perfect tone, as are a result of his musical instruments and sound very similar.

Many people believe that the critical secret of the "Strad" is the paint to cover and protect the forest. Stradivari's own formula and held it closely guarded secret and other guitar makers have tried to duplicate it for many years. One problem is that the analysis would damage considering an instrument, and few owners would this risk. People are still trying today with its techniques. Some famous violinist in favor of other instrument makers, but few would be a chance to get one of the existing Stradivarius violins.

Some have multiple masters, but that will probably not with instruments by more than $ 3.5 million at auction recently. Such instruments have been authenticated very carefully because there are so many fakes and imitations. "Strads" with the Latin words label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno" ("made in Cremona by Antonio Stradivari") and with a date at the end of the inscription are authentic, as a rule.

But the problem is that fake, copycat "Strads" I! Most beginners are those who do not have expensive and may enter both the words Lain and date to them, but as a reality check, there is a little "copy" or "replica" etched, too. Some countries have laws that replicates legal as long as they have these little words are written.
