For those interested in master violins

This type of investment has several advantages at once. The appreciation rate is often very high and thus protects savings and lessons risk, such as equities, etc.

Jaroslav Svěcený, violin virtuoso, says:

Exemplary Italian violin maker Stefano Scarampella, who lived at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. A few years ago the best instruments were selling for 50,000 euros, a little later for 90,000 euros and I recently saw an excellent Scarampella´s cello in Switzerland sold for 280,000 euros. Interest in these “younger” Italian violin maker is very noticeable. We can see an annual increase of 20 percent.

History

History of the violin in the world

There is still much doubt and speculation surrounding the true origins of the violin. It can be said however, that the violin in its present form, is the result of a long process of evolution of stringed instruments that preceded it. The first modern violin was apparently built in the first half of the 16th century in northern Italy.

This instrument gained rapid popularity across all social classes and subsequently spread throughout Europe. The oldest Andrea Amati violin was made in Cremona in the year 1564.
The greatest amount of popularity this instrument gained was in Italy, where the most famous violin in the world was born. The most famous of all violin makers is undoubtedly the genius Stradivari, who also comes from Cremona.

But other European countries are not left out since they are also home to world-renowned violin- making families.

History of the violin in Bohemia

The first violin makers and luthiers in Bohemia occurred up until the Renaissance period and mainly in Prague. During the Thirty Years War, the country was greatly devastated and there was an overall decline in manufacture, which had a very negative impact on all crafts of that time.

A basic understanding of music, which is now called “classic”, occurred in Bohemia in the Baroque period. The influence of music and musical instruments was on the rise at that time for the rich nobility and the high clergy.

They started to build the first chamber instruments for chateau salons which are subtle and produce a mellow sound. Violins of this type have high arched front and back panels and were built by the famous Tyrolean violin maker Jacob Stainer in the 17th century.
