That's Why Stradivarius Violins Are So Expensive

- How much do Stradivarius violins cost? They are said to be among the best violins in the world. Even if you’re not a musician, chances are you’ve heard the name Stradivarius. Many violinists dream of getting a chance to play an instrument made by the greatest violin maker of all time. But why are they so expensive?
Researchers have tried to learn the secret that makes Strads the best violins in the world, and the theories are many. Some say that Stradivarius violins are so superior because of the wood used, the size of the “f-holes” in the design, or the varnish. Some theories claim that the secret is in the uniform density of the 2 wooden panels that form the body of the violin. Others say that the secret is a chemical treatment that’s designed to kill woodworm and fungi.

SUMMARY:
- Stradivarius violins were created by Antonio Stradivari. He was born in 1644 and opened up his violin shop in his hometown of Cremona, Italy.
- In the 1700s, Stradivari decided to improve his style yet again and had what is referred to as his “golden period,” a time when he created the best work of his life.
- Stradivari also produced other stringed instruments: cellos, harps, guitars, and violas. But it was his method of making violins that others would try to replicate for centuries.
- Stradivarius violins produce powerful and penetrating tones. They are said to have “brightness,” “expressiveness,” and “brilliance” (terms that describe sound quality).
- Scientists have tried to figure out if all the hype and myth around Strads is valid. The violins have been run through CT scans and X-rays and been the subjects of multiple studies.
- The most expensive Stradivarius was sold for more than $15 million. But not all Stradivarius violins are so expensive - some are valued at around $2 million.
- With the instruments being so highly prized, there are a lot of instances of people who claimed to be selling genuine Stradivarius instruments that turned out to be fakes.
- The “Messiah” violin, which Stradivari built during his “golden period” in 1716, is believed to be the most immaculate Strad left. It has never been played and has an estimated value of $20 million.

Hi, Bright Siders! Do you play any musical instruments? 😊
I started off as a violinist when I was 11, but I didn't like it too much, so I switched to double bass at 13 years old. I immediately feel in love with it and I still love it to this day! :-)
Yes I play the Piano!!!!!!
BTW YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT :)
Piano ;)
I play violin for a living. It’s the only occupation I’ve ever had. I’ve been playing for 43 years.
Ling ling doesn’t need this violin to make a beautiful sound
That's because Ling Ling practices instead of watching click bait videos on youtube
@@Kwaalt haha true and you aren't practicing u need the 40hrs
HAHAHAHHAHAHA TRUE
LING LINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
Ling ling can make viola sounds as good as violin
I played a Strad once, and it sounded terrible. But then again, I had never played a violin before, so that might have had something to do with it.
PointyTailofSatan v
Sure you did
Yeah, violins are really hard to make sound good if you don’t know what you’re doing. It awesome that you got to play one though.
You are more than lucky that someone let you touch a Stradivarius without being a violinist.
@@marffvmarffv5438 exactly
When I was young, I told my violin teacher (the legendary George Bornoff) that I was unhappy with my instrument and wanted to get something else. He handed me his instrument and said to try it. It was the best instrument I had ever played. I said, "Yeah, I want one like this." He laughed. I looked inside. The label said Antonio Stradivari 1704.
Years later, after he died, I was told that it wasn't in fact a Strad but a Vuillaume, a famous violin repairman and builder in 19th century France who built exquisite replicas of Strads. So, it might have "just" been a copy but it was still pretty amazing.
Your experience seems to lightly support my suspicions that the methods used to make the violin was what gave Stradivarius its distinctive sound. I think the issue is how they put the parts together, not just the kind of wood and varnish.
AnTonio SsTradivari was born
in The CiTy of Cremona ITaLy
My understanding of the awesome sound quality of the Strads is because of the closeness of the wood grains in the instruments due to the Little Ice Age of Antonio's time period. Trees grew slower because of the colder temperatures, and with the close wood grains, sound was able to pass through the instrument more efficiently.
LOL!!!!!
A chemistry professor attributes the superior sound due to age, due to the wood being dragged in the canals of Venice and wood varnishes placed on the instruments at the time of construction. The professor tested his theory and makes violins that have been rated superior to Stradivarius.
I had the honor of testing out a Strad (courtesy of my teacher who had one on loan) and it was definitely quite a unique sound and feel, at least compared to other (read: plebeian) violins I have played. In some aspects I felt other violins were better but overall I was very pleased, even after accounting for the starstruck emotions. The bow and strings make almost as big a difference as the violin itself so that makes it quite hard to judge which pairing would really strike its chord.
Trivia: My own is a 1901 modeled after Amati.
Excuse me but the term "Strad" is reserved only for people that own one.
The violin in my profile pic was appraised by two different luthiers as being about 250 years old. One said it was german, the other said it was Italian. It was a wonderful violin to play.....very rainbowy and I had a professional violinist whisper in my ear, after having played the instrument....that I should sell everything I owned to buy it. Unfortunately, it didn't belong to me but to a friend who allowed me to play it for about 14 years....but sadly I had to give it back. I keep waiting for Antique's Roadshow to come around so we can bring it and get it appraised by folks who know for sure. It has no label so ..who knows ! It would be fun to get some info on it.
I would prefer a new violin. Not because it's better or worst, since the difference is small, but because of the pressure of having that much of a responsibility. I believe it would cripple my playing and enjoyment. These violins belong in museums as part of history, and for the study of violin perfection.
No, friend: they belong on the concert stage.
My violin is about US$ 70 and comes with case and bow. Stradivarius model. Mass produced. I'm satisfied with it. The musician is what makes the difference.
Yes. You are correct. The musician is what makes the difference. But think about it, if the musician is really good and professional Ray Chen for example. They do kind of need a better violin and bow. They wouldn't be as good with a 80 dollar violin than a 5k - 10k violin. Like you said the musician is what actually makes the difference but in the long run you will need a better violin. That does not mean you need to buy a Stradivarius or some other expensive violin. You will just need to buy a good quality violin.
I'd say you're right. I saw Chet Atkins play a cheap guitar once. Didn't sound cheap at all.
An instrument will never will never make beautiful sounds on its own.
The musician is the transmission.
I played a game of billiards with a cue i purchased. With all the bells and whistles, 600.00 investment.
Got beat with a broom handle. Lol
The most interesting statement falls at 5:40. Someone who was concerned about the subject would take those three players and test them further to see if they could consistently differentiate. If so, that would establish that there is a difference, whether or not the others were competent enough to recognize it. Using the Fritz method I can prove that humans cannot run a 4-minute mile by taking 50 people off the street and having them try. I pretty much guarantee that they will fail, proving my point.
What the average violinist, violin maker, or audience member thinks he hears is as irrelevant as my ability to run a 4-minute mile.
Correction: The video says the Messiah violin has never been played. That's simply not true. It has been played but not often at all. And of course we aren't really sure if the Messiah violin is a Strad or if it is a copy by the French violinmaker Jean Baptiste Vuillaume.
To the 1% of viewers who are actually going to read this,
I hope you have an amazing day!
Thank you
Same to you 💚
Thanks
1percent isn't very acurarate but... Sure👍.
Thank you, I wish you the same, with blessings!
Violins have different characters. In a batch of identical models one can stand out above the rest. And a good violin doesn't have to cost millions it just needs to sound great to you.
A friend of mine, a violonist, lately bought a 20.000 euros violin. I don't say the brand because i think it would not be fair. The fact is that, my friend directly came to my home with a bottle of very good champagne. This was a great day for him. However, i felt some shade in his voice as he was opening the case of his new instrument...He was not totaly convinced he had made a good deal in buying the violin. That i could feel in his voice. As a former cello student, i timidly asked him if i could play some notes out of the ( disppointing) marvel...
He said : I don't know why, but i can hardly " trigger it". That is certainly because of the weather, the room, the fact is i don't yet have it in hands and so on... I was sorry for him, according to the sacrifice he had made to get the marvel. I took the violin and put it on my shoulder ; then I tried some shy and slow notes, playing with a vibrato. The sound seemed to come from everywhere in the room. My friend said " you trigger it ! " How do you do that ? I don't know, I said. I dared not add a word but I said to myself " There is something of magic with an instrument. You are the one that fits or not...I often noticed the same case with other musicians. Can science explain that ? Maybe some day...
it is like a wand from harry potter the wand chooses the wizard. the instrument choose the musician. and when you find your match you never let it go. you name it and it becomes a part of you.
I want a strad but I am happy with my Clifton Strassus and it actually sounds pretty well! 😊
So just a friendly reminder that even if you don't own a strad, if you just practise playing and playing no matter what violin you play, it will sound amazing! 😉😊
American presenters sound like they are talking to 5-year-old kids. " Hello kids, this is a violin, it is worth lots of money, do you know what money is?"
A placebo effect....
Just like your favorite food from a specific region.
Read this story about the LA Phil concert master--who had been with Cleveland under Szell. His hobby was making violins. He finally decided to see if his creation could "pass." He played without anyone noticing for awhile. Then one evening after the concert, Szell said, "Your Strad sounded exceptional tonight." Pass
I'm no violinist, but I would venture to say that by now Stradivarius violins have been analyzed "every way from Sunday" such that FOR THE MOST PART they are now easily duplicatable. What is probably not known, I should think, are the "7 herbs and spices" Antonio used that makes his chicken (I mean, violin) different from everybody else's. Like most everything else, it's that the violins are so unique, are now antiques, that there are relatively few of them, and are in such great demand that makes them so expensive--pure and simple.
I feel like it's actually time, that makes ANY instrument better.
TUTORIAL: How to make Legendary Violin
1.) Make an Ordinary Violin using good wood choices
2.) Make Slight Tweaks (string, length, f hole size, etc)
3.) Sell it at a High Price
The last Step is the key...
...since the High Price makes sure only Highly paid Violinists will use your instrument
...therefore the music it will make will sound superb and it will be known to have the best sound among violins
That's called Business Politics
I can't really comment on violins but I can tell you that with classical guitars there is a lot of B.S. circulating around famous instruments. Many, many modern luthiers produce instruments every bit as good (or better) than Hauser, Ramirez, Tatay, Smallman, Romanillos Estesso etc.
Agree....same with violins and violas.
meanwhile Andre Rieu is waltzing around with his strad ;p
I don't play violin and can't tell the difference. What I know is that the man was an innovater who stressed quality and detail to the extreme.
This man has earned my respect. Modern society needs people like him.
There is an old saying in the antique business, "Just because something is old doesn't mean it is rare." It isn't worth a lot because it is old, it's worth a lot because it's rare. Put another way, mass produced musical instruments made today will NEVER be worth millions a few hundred years from now because they will never be rare. The few Stradivarius violins that still exist today (video mentioned around 550) are valuable because they are so rare. Heck, if you could find a gun from the Civil War it would be valuable and it would only be a 150 years old.
Yes of course!!! The f holes are why stradivarious violins are so expensive!!
yeah, another junk content vomiter ... not worth busting electrons for.
I'm glad there are some really serious genuine comments that helps serious and genuine people looking for serious genuine information. 😎
Maybe the "sound" of a strad is most beautiful due to the pairing of his heart into making them and the same heartfelt love of the violin and it's music to the musician "making it sing" ? Hmmmm
If we could bring Stradivari to our time I think he would be like: OHHHH WOW!!, what is that?!, a Roland Juno you say?, and what is this? an Electric Guitar?, forget about those violins, this is amazing!.
6:14 look at the price. Then look at the “most expensive violin of all time.” 8:17
I also noticed that. Strange!
I want one. I’m a beginner, but even as a beginner... I want one. There’s just something magical about the tone. Scientists may never figure it out, but it’s there. You have to hear one played. It’s truly a unique quality of sound.
Sorry to burst your dream bubble but as someone who has been playing 55 years now, it's not the instrument but the player. There is NO exception to hours and hours of practice and years of experience in playing any instrument and if you are truly a good player, you should be able to play a student model violin and make it sing like a Strad.
"There’s just something magical about the .....name." There. Corrected it for you. You thanks me later.
@@yohootylofitz I agree
yohootylofitz Why are modern master instruments 25-75,000 USD if a student level instrument is good enough?
@@notthatperson8179 you cant advance with a student violin
Stradivarius violin was created by Antonio Stradivarius. He was born in 1644. The size of the violin is larger and longer than any other violins and today's modern violins. The first great violin was made in 1700, and the others are betts was made in 1704 and Alard 1715 and this violins are very expensive due to its unique manufacturing so its sounds better than other violins and no one knows how it was made and everyone said different things about Stradivarius. This violin costs about 2 million US dollar to 15 million US dollar. Antonio Stradivarius made about 1100 different types of musical instruments before his death at 93 & only half of instruments are existed today sorry I forgot the numbers haha....and the Stradivarius violin market are very small but it is competitive against other markets because of its cost by its value etc, etc
Who knew a heavy metal headbanger could be so knowledge filled?
@@johnpossum556 Hahaha.... You're right by the way I'm not talking about me but headbangers are actually very discipline and calm in nature and for your information study says people who listen to metal, rock, classic, blues, etc etc are very knowledgeable and creative in their own way specially in the case of metal and classics :p haha....
Stradivari
Whoa...dude...IMPRESSIVE!
Do you play heavy metal violin?
A Strat is like a Rolex. It is a status symbol for the rich. I wear a Bulova, play a harmonica, and have a bid in for a Mendini under $100.
Well it’s like this in a blindfold test the 50 and 60’s les Paul’s go for up to what a million and when you blind fold experienced players they can’t hear the difference between it and a newer one. But playing them somehow envelopes you in awesomeness it’s playing them that matters!
Owned by investors who don’t play ☹️
But most are very generous about loaning them out to top performers for their concerts.
I play
It’s funny because a chemist found out that the Stradivarius were the only violins that were treated with a mix of boron, chlorine and sulfur to fight against worms and termites. And that might affect the wood density because when it comes to sulfur it makes the wood more dense and boron and chlorine makes the wood brighter, or viceversa, that might explain why the player doesn’t hear how loud is it. The chemist was accused of destroying the reputation of the violin because people thought that the wood was magical. There is video here on it. I am not a pro at it but after watching the video I think it makes sense 🤔.
The sound of the the Strat violins is commonly thought as being superior because the trees that were felled had grown during the mini Ice age era where the tree rings grew much much slower casing a denser timber. Whether this is true maybe in dispute even today. Another factor is a combo of chemicals used to treat the woods for resilience to fungus and wormholes. I believe it is the timber tree rigs which is the culprit in this case.
Imagine dropping it when you can't efford it
Ling Ling doesn't need a Stradivarius violin to sound good, as he can make ANY violin sound like it was made in Italy.
So, I'd read years ago that using either X-ray or CT scans or some such modern technology, they'd discovered that Stradivari had carved concave 'resonating' areas throughout the top to provide better resonance/projection for different frequency ranges (size of the concave 'divot' would correlate with wavelength). I don't know if that is factual or not. Also, that would affect only very high notes in the violin's range (or possibly overtones of lower notes) just due to the physical size of wavelengths. Has anyone else heard about this?
I play guitar and harmonica. The subject of tone is a very debatable topic I have found out after repairing guitars and amplifiers for people. To different people good tone is simply a matter of personal preference.
Why is a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Standard worth $20,000-$50,000 and a 2000 Les Paul Standard worth $1,000? Because it is a collectible....
It's not a better guitar.
The same goes for a Stardivarius or any other masterbuilt violin.
That's it.
Actually the older Gibsons ARE better just like the strads. The quality of wood that was used is no longer available. The 50s and early 60s Les Paul's used different tenon joints for the necks than now, the dimensions were different, the glues were different, each guitar back then was made by one guy, not assembly line like now, the cold in Kalamazoo is very different than the heat and humidity in Memphis, they used nitrocellulose laq rather polyurethane finish which allows the wood to breathe better and age and vibrate more. The angle of the head stock and strings over the nuts is different, the way the bridges were anchored we're different. All these small differences make those guitars significantly superior to modern guitars. A company called Heritage (founded by a Kalamazoo Gibson employee) makes guitars spec'd like the old ones and are a very amazing connection to the past. Pearly Gates is a prime example. You can't just buy that anymore.
Thank you so much Sam for that insight.
@@davidcantwell2489 And, of course the Seth Lover pickups.
Can you say Humbucker .......... =^>
@@davidcantwell2489 Yes, they became known as that after Seth Lover invented them. ( Or so I believe )
My ancestor was the maker of violins Amati, so I’m partial to his instruments.
Liar
Whoever made this video did not learn about why strads are so expensive. It is because of the unique resonance and acoustics of the wood and the extreme skill of the craftsman that makes the sound so deep. You cannot pin the reason for the sound quality. And the price is simply because of the reputation and the quality of the workmanship and materials used, and also simply the fact that it is an old antique violin. This is the same reason that a sports car from 130 years ago is worth more than a sports car of the same quality made this year. This channel needs a block button
You've had multiple people play several Strads. Were they all playing with the same bow? There is a lot to be said about the quality if the stick.
François Xavier Tourte (1747 - 25 April 1835) Nicolaus Kittel ( 1825 to 1868.) François-Nicolas Voirin (1833-1885) . Put the fiddle against the same bow from these great makers. I'm sure that when you put a: $25,000+ USD bow on a Strad with a someone like Itzhak Perlman against a $100USD you'll hear the difference.
Beginners violin can be $80, not $300. :P But yeah.

I bet in a blind test, a majority of "experts" wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and other top model.
Like fine wine, obscure the label and and the stratification between excellent and ordinary suddenly becomes much less clear.
I don’t play violin, but even if I did, I don’t think I could trust myself with an instrument that expensive. I’m a bit of a klutz.

Yes it sure is.....
@@stringsringhere7739 Do you play violins?Just curious.
@@sufsanin1917 I play the violin, and my sister is currently playing on a gagliano on a loan. Previously, she was lent a strad earlier this year to compete on a competition. Since she only had the instrument for a month, the sound wasn't as well formed, for she wasn't very used to the position and formation. What I'm trying to say is, it's not a placebo effect. Stradivarius violins are extremely well made and have amazing tone and sound when compared to other violins, but it all depends on the musician and how long they've been playing on that specific instrument.
@@lilychen2590 and the point of view of the listener.
To most ppl, yes (im also a victim of it lol). I own an expensive violin myself
OHHHHHH HAY EARLY BOISSS
The stock photo you show of the violin held in a pair of arms is really bugging me. The bridge is not in the right position; it is crooked and has slipped down toward the tail piece.
Also, at 2:25 you show a Stradavarius label viewed through the f-holes, but the label is in a modern san-serif font. If you're going to simulate a shot, at least do so convincingly!
I would appreciate it if anyone out there can give me their take on this: How is it that some violin shops, claim they made replicas of the Messiah if it has never been played and is on display at a museum? In my experience museums don’t let people touch the displays, and in some instances they are encased!
With a Stradivarius you can summon the Kraken
All violins, even bad ones, project in an unusual way simply because they are horizontally held which projects the sound Toward the ceiling that then reflects the sound, Humans are bad at detecting the position of overhead sounds so the effect is as if the sound were coming from everywhere, but to the musician close to the original sound this effect is NOT heard. In addition different harmonics resonate in different portions of the room depending on ceiling height so one violin can sound like many instruments in all corners of a room, this harmonic emerging from there, that one from another place and so on. If a guitar is held horizontally it will have the same effect! pianos also exhibit this effect because they are also horizontally positioned although the top redirects some of the sound towards the audience to get more of the guitar like effect of a definite location for the sound.
Ling ling doesn’t need Stradivarius violins the Stradivarius violins need him 😆
I'd rather play an inexpensive instrument with similar sound quality because money is not something I am casually abundant in.
The sound comes from the player, the instrument is the inspiration. Stradivarius makes people give more to the instrument...then what comes out is better.
I got to play a Nichole Amati violin once. It was a confirmed authentic violin and was owned by a concert violinist.
in blind tests the brand new carbon fiber violin is often mistaken for the strad, which is expected to sound the most impressive. Guarnari is usually picked for beauty of tone and mistaken for the Strad. The experts were FURIOUS -but they seem to be the perfered instruments of the greatest fiddle players.
It ist warm, deep sound and still almost incontraire very bright
The climate in those years where special, which made the wood sound different in the violins. It's not a theory - it's a fact !
I never played a Stradivarius. But I did play a Stratocaster.
I would expect (and hope) that modern physics can produce instruments selling for under $10K with 80-90% of the acoustic quality of the old ones. IMO that last 10-20% quality delta probably comes only through age.....
I own a strad from 1727 and it sounds amazing
Just recently it was discovered that when tested the well built modern violins can be found to sound just as good as the high dollar old violins. Most things being tested has some proof but not the Strad. Flowering words do not prove anything. Over the years the Strad has had heaps of praise but was this deserved? Roy Acuff claimed to have owned a Strad. Even old masters paintings have been forged. Why not a violin?
Alwey Wong This has been known for several decades. Nothing recent about it.
My mom wanted to sell Our violin from 1721 by stradivarius but due to the taxes and law we would get like a few bucks for instrument worth a lot. So i think I will make a good use of it and learn how to play it beafore it turns 300 years old
Even though I'm not musician,still I haven't heard the name of Stradivarius
Loveliest sound I ever heard from a violin was an old Hopf which was as black as coal and falling to bits. I bought it for £80 and it sounded fantastic. There are some really duff Strads around. But they still sell for ridiculous prices. The whole subject is a charade. It has NOTHING to do with music and everything to do with speculative investment.
The sound I hear is the Strat has a clear ring sound and the others have a flat scratch sound. from what I hear.
Most violinist already damaged their ear drums while playing violins all their life thus using them to differentiate sound is flawed. A computer recording studio will get it recorded charted correctly, especially these new age Graphene microphones coming out.
Give me a strad, I Won't ask for anything else..
Thank you for putting this out in English. I found this video in Italian. I don't speak Italian.
Its like the faustino condes guitars for flamenco guitar...faustino condes revolutionized flamenco sound by his construction of the brace inside the guitar along with the right wood..
You sure you didn't goof @6:10 ? Cause you just listed a violin's price at over 1.3 trillion before going on to say the most expensive was 15 million
The sound quality is said to be because there was a mini ice age at the time and the tree rings were very tight because of the slow growth.
I'm guessing you got this from a kid.
Well since the difference is nominal, it's obvious that the newer violin is the choice. And as we will know in 10 more years or so, there will be nothing better than or we can make - and there's always new materials that offer in my estimation what will form a new generation of perfect pitch
Or get an Electric Violin that you can tweak the onboard EQ AND the Amp EQ for hours on end to get close to that "Strad Sound" for a tiny Fraction of the Cost - with REVERB to Boot !
I bought an inexpensive violin that has an amazing deep sound. Since I will never afford a magic original, I am super happy with my violin.
beautiful video love watching it
I bough a Strad copy from a junk shop. It was cheap because the top panel had a long gash which was deemed not worth repairing. Still, it didn't seem to affect the sound quality, which was warm and rich. The violin got stolen from me at Malaysian airport several years ago. I have two beginner violins but they sound so awful in comparison I have never played them after losing my "Stradivarius".
Sound is ‘’Everything’’, everything else is hype.
Btw, I play piano, violin & viola for over 48 years, but {G0D forbid} ‘not’ professionally ~ I would never want to ‘have’ to sell my 1st love: 🎼🎵Music🎶.
2:56 Oh yes, that's really a beautiful one. But what's that thing in her hands?
My cousin played in the band at Foothill High School Bakersfield California he was so good the music teacher gave him a Stratovarius and he has it to this day you gave it to him and 1975 I wonder if the teacher knew how much violin wish work then and now the million-dollar question or should I say 5 million-dollar question
I believe the weight and pressure of owning or playing a strad would keep many many people like me from doing so. Therefore, playing and owning a very good modern or less well-known instrument would be much more preferable.
Hmm, people make fake ones you say... *opens book on how to make violins*
Wake me up when it’s finished.
With the cost of insurance on a Strad, you could buy a house. No thanks.
Making a documentary about Stradivaris and playing background music that was made with artificial violin sounds/samples...
Good Lord... :))))
I have one! Ha I have a replica and it is just fine for anything I do, these violins are not better because they ALWAYS need a luther adjustment or complete makeover. You are paying for the brand imo!
6:13: ig someone is vibbing with a 1.39 trillion dollar violin that Antonio Stradivari made when he was 13.
Strong work!
Yeah well !!!!!!!!!! My Strat is a Fender Roadhouse model, made USA, and i use it mainly thorough a Marshall amp, or Fender, sounds like Hendrix..........
I have an original Strat...looks just like the picture of case and all! Ok, have sweet night ya'll!!!
