  • I recently found this violin and think its probably 99% chance that it is a fake, however could anyone tell me if it is or if there is a chance that it might be authentic? I appreciate any genuine feedback. This violin was found in Sri Lanka (Island near India). This was found in an old Portuguese Church after renovation a basement that was previously buried was discovered. Along with some old manuscripts this violin was among the items found. I showed this to a music teacher who said the quality was far better then any other violin he had previously played. Please note the inside inscription reads as Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonenlis Faciebat Anno 1713 (the 1 and 3 written in ink) then a symbol that has an ATS (the T could be a cross or anchor).

      It's one of those century old Chocolate Gelman violins, I actually own an Amati and they did indicate it was made in Germany, no maker given. It's a decent $70 violin, made of all the proper woods (Cedar, Maple, Ebony) with a little tiger striping and of course aged wood by now. There is another torn up one/in pieces with an identical label in another video, I guess this answers the origin story of that violin, it is a century old German violin. They were not sold as forgeries but mass sold as student violins in music shops I suspect, Stradivarius being dead for centuries has no control how his name is used.

    Looks like a John Juscek, Czech mass produced instrument. We had them in our High School and Junior High School Orchestra. They were ok for kids learning to play. Juscek makes high-quality instruments as well. This could be one. Can't tell until it's actually played.

    Well, the teacher may have liked the sound, but the way to find out if this is an old Italian violin is a bit of a reverse process. Most of us, myself included, have never examined one close up. One begins with what it's not. There is no sign of a grafted scroll, or even peg bushings, which would be common on a violin of age. This one looks to be about 100-120 years old. The varnish is of a kind common to Czech or German manufacture. Many violins were sold with Stradivarius labels. The labels were not even intended to deceive, inasmuch as the violins were sold as new. Best of luck with it, and congrats if it's a good player.

    Might be a fairly decent sounding violin, but it's no Strad, nor is it more than a hundred years old tops, probably. There are many thousands of such fakes around- I see them regularly in my workshop. But that doesn't matter- a violin doesn't have to be a Strad to be good, and some real Strads aren't that good anyway.

He also said that it would cost 10K to have someone to examine it and verify that it is. I know they are worth millions and he knows that too. He has it buried under the floor boards in his house in fear that someone would kill him for it. Do you know of a cheaper way to authenticate it?

  • @DribbleThrottlewort
    @DribbleThrottlewort Před 6 lety +13

    Yes. The violin is entirely authentic. It is one of the earliest and worst examples of Stradivarius' "Classical" model, which is to say a masterpiece compared to any other Cremonese maker of the time, and it is worth a considerable sum, although selling it will surely result in calamity.
    Do not worry about the fittings (pegs, fingerboard, tailpiece, saddle, button, bridge, etc) as they were added much later. The neck was modernized in the mid 1800s by the ill fated luthier and collector Taurisio, whose fate is legendary. It was one of the two violins found in his hands in his cramped apartment in Turin when he died. There was actually a race to acquire or destroy this violin when news of his death reached England and France. The obsessive luthier, collector, freemason and satanist Jean Baptiste Vuillaume, inventor of the diabolical Octobass, rescued it alongside arguably the most famous violin in existence, the 1716 Messiah-Salabue Stradivarius, which is on display to this day in the Ashmolean museum at Oxford.
    Facibat Anna was the name of Stradivarius' faithless third wife, who tormented him with her public affairs with Joseph Guarneri del Jesu, whom she considered a superior maker. He, or one of his sons, bitterly dedicated some of his lesser works to her in a fit of irony driven by economic necessity in his later fits of madness. 1713 was the year she died.
    This violin is cursed and should be dealt with carefully. The only other 1713 Stradivarius in existence belonged to the doomed composer Joshua Hancock, who drowned in his bathtub after learning of the return of Haley's Comet in 1758. The Heaven's Gate cultists who committed mass suicide in 1997 based their entire philosophy on the demented compositions of this tortured genius, banned by the Church and only surviving in fragmented form as the occult opera known as "The King In Yellow."
    This violin was thought lost after Vuillaume's death at the hands of assassins hired by the notorious London firm A.B. Hill and Sons, whose bows are coveted to this day.
    Under no circumstances should you attempt to play it, especially tuned between A429 and A441.2. Seek professional help, as merely abandoning, selling or destroying the violin will result in the direst consequences. Remove this public display at once, as there are orders of violinists in this world who would use it to the darkest ends. Avoid the damned Mercer and his ilk.
    There is a professor at Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts named Dirk Stratford who may be able to help. I am truly sorry for you. Best of luck...

    • @DribbleThrottlewort
      @DribbleThrottlewort Před 6 lety +1

      I have already risked a lot by tracking the 1713s down. I know much but the truth is the more you know the worse it gets. Hope it is not authentic. Under no circumstances listen to Tartini's "Il Trille du Diable" , Paganini's "24 Caprices", or Mercer's "Ghosts" as these pieces played on certain instruments will open doors you will wish closed.
      If you want to know more you can contact my agent at His name is Dirk Stratford. Make sure he knows Dribble Throttlewort sent you and that you are dealing with a potential Cremenoid of the Ancient Order. Mention the composer "Joshua Hancock" and he may respond. Do not send a picture right away. A reading of the label should be sufficient for his initial estimation. Include whether or not parts of the label are printed or handwritten. He may ask you for photographs or recordings.
      I will check with him after I return from my travels.
      Best of luck!

  • @shahbiqsofian1623
    @shahbiqsofian1623 Před 9 lety +1

    I just wanna say, based from what history taught people nowadays.. Based from the writing of the paper inside there, supposedly, before the year 1730, which the paper wrote there, 1713, there is no usage of the letter 'v', for the word Stradivarius. Instead, during that period of time, people used 'u' as in Stradiuarius. That is the only one matter that nobody look into, when making a super serious copy of strad violin. Even after the year 1730, people still use the 'u' for 'v' sound.

    • @shahbiqsofian1623
      @shahbiqsofian1623 Před 9 lety

      Just by looking at the scroll and changed in colour of purfling, it surely seems real. But, the tailpiece, strings, and pegs surely aren't. Real Strad tailpiece should have only one fine tuner. Because 4 fine tuners developed later, by Antonio Stradivari's sons, I think, haha. The piece of paper inside wrote 'Stradiuarius'. So, congratulation mate, you just found a real Stradivarius violin. It may worth about at least 5k us dollar. So, take care of it well. Don't bother read the scamming comments of other people. Ok, bbye!

    • @shahbiqsofian1623
      @shahbiqsofian1623 Před 9 lety +1

      One more, the paper actually says Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno 1713. By Antonio Stradivari, in Cremona, Italy, Made on the the year 1713. Usually, fake Strad violins wrote only the last number using ink. If 2 numbers, usually real. That's all. Make sure to revarnish the back ok. It's ugly!

When I started in the business 40 years ago I went through the same thing. I don't look for a Strad. I look for some of the other great Italian and French Violins and some German instruments.Wish I could give you better information but just enjoy the fun of looking for good violins.

    NO this is not a real genuine Stradivarius violin! It is most likely a fair copy of one. Notice the label inside the violin. It has two numbers stamped and the rest are hand written! Stradivari only stamped the 1 and wrote by hand the rest of the year the piece was made! So what you have obviously has been modified heavily with modern fine tuners and is most likely some sort of German or Checkoslvakia violin. Worth maybe $300 at the most!

      If it was made in 1713, then "u" would be okay for the golden age of the master. About the years before 1730, the master used the Stradiuarius name on the labels, later on the Stradivarius.
      substandardpoodle.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/real-stradivarius-labels.jpg
      However, the typology of printed characters is not Baroque at all, but there are other differences on the sticker. Moreover, the quality of the violin does not refer to any Cremona masterpiece.

    Pretty easy to tell it is not as the 7 is not hand written !

      Even if the 7 was handwritten the violin would still not be a Strad.

    Fake for sure. The vanish is horrible. The bridge costs £1. The head is ugly shaped. The finger board is around a few years old only. The font of print in the label is the same as the font we are using now. The most typical example is the digit. I am sure Iwill find more issues if look closer. Very very low quality...

    Where to begin, it is not a real strad, because. Strad labels were made of cotton, not paper, which hadn't been invented yet. Strad had labels printed with only the 1 showing and hand wrote the last 3 letters according to year, such as 1699, 1700, 1701 etc. This violin has spirit varnish which was only used after Strad died, he used only an oil varnish and he would not have varnished the neck, yes to the scroll but not the neck. there are many reason that this is a copy. Buy the book by the "Hill" family about Strad. written a hundred years ago, they are the final word on his life and work.

      'Where to begin" - Paper was invented in China during the Eastern Han period (25-220 CE). Papermaking reached Europe as early as 1085 in Toledo, and was firmly established in Spain by 1150. By 1276 mills were established in Fabriano, Italy and in Treviso and other northern Italian towns by 1340 - over 300 years before Stravarius started making violins. Strad labels are made of paper made, during the 18th century, from flax or hemp fiber. Cotton was first used for paper making in the 19th century.

      You’re stupid if you think labels never lie. It’s a cheap copy, and if you look, you can see the violin label has printed on. Stradivari always hand wrote the labels with ink. Besides, there are only 600 or so strads, and all of them have been accounted for. Plus, it has fine tuners! Fine tuners are NEVER used on Stradivarius instruments!
