Anyone have a Stradivarius violin?

The Smithsonian has one, I'm sure.. They're quite rare & worth millions of dollars.

If I did have one, I wouldn't be bragging about it on here. Most people have copies, but if a person had the real one, they would keep quiet about it. Strads are worth millions, and it would really stink if someone stole it. The Smithsonian has one, Joshua Bell has one, and some female violinist I've heard of.

Violins are not the only thing Stradivarius made. There were also violas and cellos.

Itzhak Perlman owns and plays one ; the Soil Strad of 1714.

Anne-Sophie Mutter has two ; the Emiliani of 1703 and the Lord Dunn-Raven of 1710.

I doubt that anybody on this forum would have a genuine Stradivarius violin.

The King of Spain has 2 violins, 2 cellos and 1 viola all made by Stradivarius . They can be seen at the Music Museum in Madrid.

The US Library of Congress has 3 violins, 1 viola and 1 cello all made by Stradivarius.

Do you mean ....um ....me?
No, I do not.
People do though. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, has a partial list of people who own Strads. Just do a search for Stradivarius
violins - Wikipedia....

*Extremely* unlikely. See:

Andre Rieu has 2 Stradivarius Violins

Yo-Yo Ma plays (occasionally) a Strad. Cello that is owned by an annonymous person

Julian Lloyd Webber plays a Strad Cello

I always loved this, when it came out

i WISH. haha. my friend is joshua bell's niece, and he has one. my former swim coach's grandfather owned one.

but no, i don't.

My university had one until a couple years ago. They're really valuable; I doubt too many individuals own them.

Oh yes...two or three...No seriously, I'm not ready to spend the rest of my life paying for a violin when I'm not a professional...Strads are extemely rare..extemely old and worth mega bucks!! (can you say millions???) I do have a Stainer, a Neuner-Horsteiner, and a Pfretschner (which really only has sentimental value...my deceased father gave it to me as a gift)

well, i don't own any violin, but if you intend to get a violin, you can try view 88db website and you can find German copy of STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN

library of congress has a pair now i think. they have amazing instruments there! tons or rare items.

i have hofner violin and i'm loving it. why do you ask about strads?
