Stradivarius
They were made (about 1200 pieces) between 17th and 18th century by Antonio Stradivari, and they’re well-known by their great sound. Many manufacturers have investigated the sound, but they haven’t been able to explain exactly why Stradivarius violins sound so beautifulyl. It’s believed it could be the wood or the glue.
At present, only about 500 Stradivarius violins have been found, and they belong to famous violinists or Museums. In Spain, there are two pieces in the Agency of National States.
The last time one of these instruments was sold was in October 2010, to a Japanese woman, by 3.000.000 $.
Talking about their value and economic cost, in October 2010 was the last time one of these instruments was sold for 3.600.000 $ (nearly 2.600.000 euros). But if you think you’ve found one of these, find evidence of it, because there are a lot of copies in the world.
