<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 167960, member: 37"]Most fake Strads are pretty worthless. Most were made in Germany in the 19th century and are of lower quality. The chance that you have copy made by a pupil of Stradivarius is pretty slim. If he was a master maker, why wouldn't he use his own name? Based on what I can see and my limited knowledge, your violin looks better than many copies I have seen. All this said, it is impossible for most of us here to really evaluate your violin from photographs. While there is a slim chance that you have a worthy copy, there is still a slim chance. You really need to have someone knowledgeable take a look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
