It is worth noting that the master Stradivari made around 2500 string instruments, of which undoubtedly genuine 732 have been preserved, including 632 violins.

These items are unique and are often presented at exhibitions in world museums as genuine works of art. In particular, the value of such a violin can exceed $15 million.
