Over the years, the record for the “World’s Most Expensive Violin<\/strong>” has been repeatedly broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The justification for the value in these violins is usually because of the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. the maker of the violin is renowned. Such as makers Giuseppe Guarneri del Ges\u00f9 (1698 – 1744) or Antonio Stradivari (1644 – 1737),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. the violin is a very old piece, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. not only it is well made, but it is still in good condition.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Not only would I suggest that these violins are primarily valued as a historical artifact, but I would also suggest that a modern, electric violin could command more value. Not within the same paradigm however. Rather, it would offer a\u00a0created<\/em>, commissioned value, as opposed to an\u00a0established<\/em>, historical value. The rise of electronics in instruments has given artists like myself great liberty to break from the restrictions that an established value hinges on. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
