We need to know if the Violin is the real deal or not. This definitely needs a part 2!
It’s not. Everyone thinks they have one and they’re always fake.
I'm sure he already knew it was a replica (even if a couple centuries old replica, there are plenty of those around, and some are actually quite valuable) , somebody who's been in business as long as him would not miss a gem like that.
He knows evety detail about every other piece he was asked about, but somehow missed a Stradivarius violin? Will not believe it for a second.
Doubt it. One does not obtain that by accident.
My dad had one like this. Worth maybe $100+.
One of the most faked replicated things out there! I believe there are only a few unaccounted for. It would be insane if this was real.
Dear God, what charmed me the most in this episode is not necessarily the ancient material but dear old Freddy. In past videos, we often saw him in his shop but he was always rather shy or at least, withdrawn. What a charming, funny and endearing guy! I would like to see him again in his other ''caves'' worthy of the tales of a thousand and one nights.
100% agreeing, this video showed freddys true self ❤ imagine goin around just listening n chatting n looking about all his knowledge about this early days stuff😃
@@jesperhansson7217 I don't remember if his work colleague, Peter I believe, is his brother or not (he shows up at the end). But this jeweler tag team is so easy to love! I miss them, Yossi and Seth, the original protagonists of the first episodes, a few years ago!
The amount of history this man has in a storage unit is insane
No Insanity involved here
Dude it's so crazy to me how people can be this wealth and just have all of this stuff.. it's really motivating
@@thescatterpiratesquarepant7935
Not insane and not crazy
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE Do more videos with these guys. There so interesting and have incredible things to show us
Already more exciting than 7 seasons of Storage Hunters
You are so right!
Wonderful
watch the UK version....BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM haha
Straight up 😂😂
"Be careful, it might be loaded" points it directly in Freddies face
LOL I saw that
Acte de folie ,que de pointer une personne avec une arme !!! Ici nous appelons ses personnes des idiots dangereux !!!
I am almost 99% sure that the violin is not a Stradivarius. Luthiers have made copies of Stradivarius instruments for centuries, and some even put a replica of the original label inside. That doesn't mean it is not a good instrument, but it will not have the value that can have a Stradivarius in an auction. If you are interested, there are lists of all Stradivarius known and who currently owns or plays them, and the possibility that it is a newly discovered instrument is very slim.
Dude, we need more of this stuff to see, I can honestly say it’s surreal to see stuff ,us humans used to use vs today.
We need part 2. So much interesting stuff to see and we barely saw anything.
We need more of these videos!!!! Freddy is a charm and has one of the coolest collections I've ever seen
More of Freddy please …what a wonderful place.
Wow! That has to be a contender for the most incredibly expensive & culturally unique storage room in the world!
The sheer scale of the spectrum of items & artefacts he has amassed is almost insane! And the monetary value of it all is superfluous compared to amount of providence, heritage & history that he has gathered together in 1 place.
If it wasn't for the fact he is such a nice guy, i would say it's almost criminal that all those treasures are sitting in storage - they're so gorgeous they should be seen & enjoyed.
Old school Michael video. We want more of these
More humble Michail version
That is amazing all the history he has just sitting in all those storage units. He needs to open up a museum or a gallery and he could charge an admission fee for charity. People would be willing to pay money just to see these museum qualify pieces. Please do more videos on this if Freddy is ok with it?
We already have museums, free and paid ones. He should donate them since is not enjoying them.
he is enjoying them - the joy is in the research and knowledge @@cristibaluta
Yes Michael please do more of these videos! And i think it was very noble and honourable of you to be honest to Freddie about the potential value of that violin.
As a teenager in the 60s, I would travel to antique and "junk" stores in my area. Many of them looked similar to this man's. Fascinating!
We need more! I don't care if it's split into 5 parts or an hour long episode
Finally! Old school Producer Michael format.
Sadly This video was made years ago
@@garnetkodo lol what
Antonio Stradivari personally made about 1100 instruments, of which about 650 survive today. In addition to violins he made cellos, violas, harps and guitars. I've read that every violin he made is accounted for, either owned by someone (or an institution) or is definitely known to be gone (destroyed in a fire perhaps). There are no 'lost' Stradivarius violins.
That said, there have been tens of thousands of copies made, perhaps even more. They all tend to have a similar label marked, "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno [date]", exactly as seen on this violin. I'm no expert but even I can see that this is a copy and not a very good one at that. When people purchased these copies, they knew they weren't getting an original Stradivarius (for a modest price) but rather a copy of a style of violin first made by a recognized master. People today come across these copies and think, "Wow!! A genuine Stradivarius!! I'm rich!!".
If this guy actually knows antiques, he is well aware of this and knows that what he's holding is not a genuine Stradivarius, but one of thousands of copies. Sticking a label inside a cheap violin doesn't make it an original Stradivarius. So this is just bullshit.
correct, my mother and her sister played in the Chicago Philharmonic and she had a Strad signed by several musicians, my daughter plays it now like her grandmother.
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141so your mother had a multi-million dollar violin and now your daughter plays it ?
Do you have any information regarding these copies made by one of his students?
so if an aftermarket comes from an aftermarket through your shit ; what made it out
you’re wrong 👎 it is worth MILLIONS bub 😂😂😂😂
Michael is such an honest and humble soul. God Bless you Michael.
What a fun video!! It brings the best out in Freddy, Michael and Adam.
More caves please.
One of my favorite videos yet, thank you, truly hope for more of these soon
I love this guy already, WE NEED PART TWO!
When I was a kid my daddy knew this very portly guy. We had been to his building in California. He had tons of nautical items. He had hatch boards,diving helmets, wood ladies from front of old sailing ships tons of stuff. My daddy went 2 times with us to haggle for items. He kept those things in his apt. Really cool...
In in tears this is so beautiful, more of this please 🙏 ❤
Good to get some of these items shown on video for all to see. More videos showing Freddie's collection needed.
I love these kinds of videos I could sit here and watch for hours of them going through this amazing collection.
What an amazing collection, and just a small part of what Freddie has!
Please, please, please let us know more about the 'Stradivarus' violin.
Stradivarius? WOW!! That is just amazing. And then Freddy turns to point at some paintings and says "these are important" 🤣
It's not real. That entire exchange between them was obviously a joke... from him saying it was some kind of important violin.🤣
Yeah sorry, it's not genuine.
Not a Strad - no way. Looks like a cheap factory violin.
Great video this week. How amazing that collection was and we didn't even see the entire storage unit. Please update us and let us know if the Stradivarius was authentic or not. I love that Michael and his musical background had an instant ping on his music radar when he saw that case on the shelf. Incredible collection! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Dang ! I want to hang out with that guy , sounds like he hits a jackpot with everything he touches , and even if it isn't the stuff he collects and the stories are priceless and what makes things fun ! A new and different adventure around every corner and in a dang storage unit ! One thing for sure they do need to be stored a bit safer and not just sitting on the floor or shoved where ever ! My OCD kicks in seeing that !
Freddy is awesome.. what a character. Love to see more of him!
I'd love to see an appraisal video on the violin. Almost like an Antiques Road Show featuring Michael, Freddy, and Adam.
we wont see a follow up, it's almost certainly fake
"appraisal" or identification and authentication ? Theses instruments aren't appraised, they are purchased by those who have the means and price is not an objective.
They won't follow up because it's transparent bullshit. Anyone with a passing knowledge of fiddles can see it's a cheap trade copy worth a few $100 at most. This is pop TV for the credulous.
Yossi Dina has 10 of them
He is a very funny and cool guy. A very very educated person. God bless Freddie 👏👏👏
Great Video, Michael and Adam , i never thought you would make this , more of this please ! i use to watch a show called "storage wars" all day long. Wow everythings a surprise , part 2 or maybe up to 5 since he said theres 5 others🤣
I love watches videos but I have to say, this was the best one yet. Unbelievable stuff! Beautiful ! Please make more
Finally this kind of content. Expensive antique collections
Kudos to Michael for being so honest for not having taken advantage of the owner of the violin. This just shows what a fine person Michael is.
Simply mind boggling. Freddy is an obsessive collector deep down to keep hold of all this stuff. He is obviously well off already and doesn't need to sell the stuff. Lucky him!
Michael is an absolute gent. A man of honour.
I love this video you guys have outdone yourself today thank you Michale and Adam have a Mary Christmas and a happy new year
Yes please, more of these videos as they're surprising.
These guys are great. I've been by there shop, but never inside. Michael and Adam are the greatest too. Whoever thought that dreaming about stuff you can't afford would be so entertaining. Awesome episode.
I DEFINITELY want to see more! Like all of it
More of these videos please! Absolutely love it! We want Alibabas cave part 2-3-4-5-6-7... =D
One word. Insane. All these antiques in a storage shed. Just amazing. So cool.
This man needs to put all this in a gallery or museum. Let the public see this beautiful collection in its entirety.
I'd love to hear if the violin is genuine. There are lots of "copies" that aren't necessarily fakes. Luthiers will make their instruments off of the the Stradivarius pattern, and put the name inside, however usually, as in my cellos case, they will put the actual year they made it so its pretty clear that it is a copy. Sometimes they are tricky and stick and old looking label inside though..
he did mention that it was a signature inside there too
Probably fake
My great great grandfather was a concert violinist and left a violin to the family. The family story was that he once owned a stradavarius but it was stolen and he replaced it. We found an old violin in the family storage after my grandmother passed. It too, had this marking on the inside. We had it appraised and it was essentially a piece of junk. There are countless counterfeits out there. The varnish on this one looks to be way too modern and not how they made violins back in the day. That's the biggest clue. The other was that the years written on the inside were apparently hand-written so if you have a stamp with a printed year of production it's not an authentic one. This one had the year stamped. You can slightly see the stamp in the picture shown. This isn't a real strad, unfortunately. There are thousands and thousands of fakes out there getting people's hopes up and very few real ones.
Strats dont come with stickers lol
They do, that style of labeling the inside of the instrument has been around forever. But I believe Ben is right.
The stradivarius bit felt super acted.
This has got to be one of the best channels Producer Michael is great to watch. Very entertaining
Absolutely amazing ! I cannot wait to see the other units ❤❤❤
More of this. Amazing
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of the antiques and collectables... love your watch shows and jewellery , and sometimes the houses, .. and cars are cool... BUT please please please do more antique episodes.. cheers Michael.
What a great soul Micheal is. No wonder he is successful. Keeping the honest positive vibe throughout his life. Karma really does work folks.
Amazing video. It’s such a shame that all them beautiful items are all hidden away and not being enjoyed. Hope to see more items on a future video, there’s content for months in this unit.
Standard late 19th / early 20th century German trade violin with a Strad label. Tens of thousands of these were imported into the US, they are very common to find. Worth a few hundred dollars at auction. Worth a bit more setup in a music shop, maybe $1-2k. The case is interesting but not uncommon in the US and not worth a crazy amount either.
Please do a follow up vid on the violin ❤
That's when you know you have to much money...that you don't even know what you have....such important pieces of extraordinary value and history just tucked into a locker...love when he said "let me just push Picasso's easel aside"😳
We definitley need more of these videos. They are amazing!
Just goes to show producer Michael has a honest soul
We definitely need to figure out whether or not that violin is legit. I hope Adam and Michael will let us know. Freddy is an actual treasure. Love that guy.
Cheap , clumsy attempt at replicating a Strad. Junk.
@Ernie H Simple,
1. It's in storage
2. Mr Genius says it's authentic
3. Wrong shape
4. wrong label
5. Incorrect F Holes
6. Show me the back and I'll give you more.
7. Volute, but necks were often replaced because of the string length and angle.
All adding up to the usual German, Saxon, Bohemian, Hungarian etc copies.
If you have to look at a label, or use the label to identify an historic violin, you do not know what you are doing. The label is the last thing you would look at.
Of the roughly 1200 (more or less, actual number unknown) instruments made by Stradivarius, only 30,652 are still known and played.
@Ernie H there are a few strads that are not accounted for, it’s possible
@@adriellopez8546 If "there are a few Strads that are not accounted for" , one must know that they are , in fact, accounted for. There is absolutely no logic to your statement.
@@jeffhildreth9244 They're documented going back to when the collection was made, but have no known ownership. Please do some research before claiming someone is making false statements
Been into antiques for over 4 decades now, i'd LOVE to walk through just to look !! T.Y. 4 the video.
We just found our new Yosi dina!!!… freddy is such a beautiful person… i am so happy they gave him this opportunity , he is amazing
My fav type of videos. Want more!
So I am guessing that is not a real Stradivarius because Freddy was too calm about it and I am sure him as a collector already did his research. Can't imagine he wouldn't have known especially if it's so easy to spot.
Yea, pretty sure dude knows very well Stradivarius, hell even I know that and I know shit about antiques... 😀
He knows what he has. Knows it’s a fake. Just didn’t want to say.
Exactly, I just wrote the same thing in another comment. For a man who knows history on every random piece in that pile of goods he would not have missed a gem like that.
he didnt show the date on the label ,which is the easy way to tell!! there are thousands of violin that say strad !!
The violin looks like a cheap factory instrument, definitely not a Strad.
We won't even fast forward a video like this... It's worth every second watching it. Thanks for sharing with us.
You can always tell a gun naïve person from someone who grew up around them from the moment they pick up any gun.
My man Michal immediately aimed it right at dude.
Waiting for this kind of locker to turn up on Storage Wars 😀
Interessante....thank you Michael! You are the best!
Wow!!! I'm speechless . Your friend seems so kind and sweet . I hope nobody takes advantage of him . Good eye on that violin . I'm a glass collector ,not violins . But that label looks like the real thing. It shows aging , and the wood is gorgeous . Isn't it the type of wood used, that gives the I strident that beautiful sound?
Do you mean Murano glass?🤔🤗
Super impressive. Love how honest micheal is. Hard to find these days. Love to pick that guys brain and just explore in his places.
That's insane...the crazy thing is that we only saw maybe 10 items :O and he has 5 other storage spaces!
More like this please
Micheal we need such videos more then any others because it is fun and very interesting to watch and know same time. It’s so interesting every next items is like mystery one and trust it guys it’s so fun
That was a very lovely thing to do when you found out that violin was a Stratus Many people would’ve run out the door with it you’re still good to see some people have got a few good integrity about them. Watch you UA-cam videos and always a lot of fun. Many thanks, Tommy😊
100% not a genuine strad. Oddly enough, with these old violins, the bow that came with it is worth more than the violin.
Explain
How you'd know lol jealous
Chances are its not real... most of them are accounted for.... and if the owner of the storage thought it was real he'd immediately stop what he was doing. That would literally be one of the biggest news story of this year.... easily
@@teamsalvation There are tons of clues, one it doesnt look nearly old enough. Second, the varnish and coloring are much more French or German than Italian, and more specifically that of Strad. The scroll is always an easy place to look-in no way a real strad. As stated, most Strads are well documented and are in the hands of a soloist or in a museum.
This is true. I am the Violin in the video. 🎻
Michael is great guy; he did not take advantage to buy the violin for couple of thousands but took effort to point out its potential value. That's what friends are for!
he is righteous.😊❤️
And a good actor
It is firstly a TV show. You know sometimes they are not real????
Peace & Love to you and Adam all the way from Sheffield, England. Happy Christmas to the both of you, thankful and grateful for your productions ☮️💜🕉
Great content guys, love the honesty with business deals. Would love to see the other caves of wonder.
Please do more with Freddie
Make one together with Jossi , would be cool
These are the absolute best videos, just seeing parts of history and extremely rare items you never get to see otherwise. keep em coming
Michael : Be carefull it can be loaded!
*Michael aims full on Freddy*
Beautiful antiques, reminds me of my later dealers shop, she was one of those dealer/collector/hoarder types
I can remember her giving me loads because I would take a passing interest from a broken fountain pen to a bagful of silver and a massive box of coins
WE NEED YOSSI DINA! HE IS THE MASTER OF ART.
Love Yossi, is he back from Israel, heard he had to flee there was some money problems .
I hope the Violin get authenticated, and you guys need to do another video if it's real or a copy.
It's a copy unfortunately ... just too many details that give it away. Starting with the graduation of red varnish to "blonde" almost instantly. And the varnish doesn't "glow" like a Strad would.
Just saying, as someone who's held 3 or 4 Strads would say :)
Liam is WRONG
@@jayblair4344 nice try ;)
So excited to finish this. We've heard about it, but now get to see it! Now all we need is that Drum sesh! ;)
Michael you are one of the kindest human being I have ever seen,and I love your videos.I have I watch collections collecting since 2006,probably worth like one of your watches. Started collecting back when I was doing cafe concerts in Budapest and Vienna. I think people like me ,we all dream to have I nice watch ,and sometimes watching your videos,I can imagine to have I nice Patek😊
There are many fakes. Hope it’s an original and it sells for millions 🤞🤞🙏🏻
This was great! Freddy doesn't know how many goodies he has, does he? Incredible! Very nice to watch!
It’s hard not to wonder about from where his wealth is coming. O’wise, your video and the stuff in that storage were very much interesting and exciting. Thanks for sharing, Michael! By taking this opportunity, wishing you and your family Merry Xmas 🎄 and very happy new year 🎊.. Cheers 🥂
he’s jewish
We all need part 2 and 3 of this amazing Alibaba cave. AMAZING!!
Videos are getting back on track! But... why are they still so short & seem rushed?
Can we have a super high quality watch episode now please 😭😭😭
Yeah and stay away from the reality show feeling smh
I believe they started like this, checking out expensive items, then PMs watch collections and car collections traveling Beverly hills, then checking out expensive watches and touring House's in LA.
It great when, you do these kind of episode, the people make them, even more fun and there knowledge is amazing.
Wow!! What an amazing video! Been watching producer Micheal for a long long time!
This should be a whole series !
OMG this is by far the most amazing episode ever guys, truly amazing!!!
This is great! This is why we love you guys! Thank you…
This is exciting, se really need an update on that violin. In fact I would love to see it on video when it's going to the expert, it would be awesome to see their reaction when they hear this story and everything. Wow!
