Title: a copy of stradivarius violin
Post by: juan on May 11, 2004, 07:58:39 AM

Hello, my mother had acquired a long time ago (25 years +/-) a violin. She use it many years, but she left it. it was without use for near 20 years, and now she wants to sell it.
to do so, we look into it and find a broken label that says:

    Antonio Stradivarius Cremonensis
                     Faciebat
         Made in Czechoslovakia
                       1913

I suppose it is a copy obviously, but anyway I wander to know how could I determine a price for it. Actually I don’t have any idea about it. If this depends if the violin works, or its years, or something else.
I’d thanks for any help about it.
