@Musicman I have heard it many times while growing up, but has been decades since I heard it last, it's about our true worth and value, even when others think we're not worthy. Just recently a Strad violin sold for just under $12million...
@NativePortlander1970 That is so cool. My violin has the Stratovarious markings, but I have been told by non professionals that there is absolutely no way it can be real. So who knows 🤷♂
@Musicman A lot of violin makers liked to imitate the markings, my late ex fiancee's younger son played and had a unique sound, his violin was last appraised to be worth $17,000 and has Strad markings as well. The interesting thing is that there are numerous violins the Stradivarius factory made, in the hundreds, but the valuable ones are the instruments he personally crafted.
