VerifiedHello,
My name is XXXXX XXXXX I'll be pleased to help you with this question.
My condolences on your loss.
You have a copy of a Stradivarius violin, most likely made in the town of Markneukirchen, Germany at the turn of the 20th century. Many workshops there turned out violins for export to the US. These are still considered to be good student violins today.
If your violin is in excellent condition, its current retail (replacement or insurance) value is approximately $1,000. If you were to sell it, you could expect to get the fair market (private sale or auction) value of approximately half that amount.
I hope this answer has been helpful to you. Please click "Accept", as that is the way I am compensated by JA for my service to you. Clicking "Accept" will not result in any additional cost to you. Feedback is welcome, and bonuses are appreciated. Thanks for using Just Answer!
