Strads worth the price? |
"Are Strads really worth the price?" That was a headline from a recent Wall Street Journal article in which Chicago violin maker and dealer Fritz Reuter is quoted.
Many factors determine an instrument's worth, but the millions fetched by a Stradivarius seem to defy reason.

In this arena, tonal value is of least importance, if it is considered at all." [unquote]

Barbieri, |
Fritz Reuter means violins. As the Chicago areas oldest establishment of professional violin makers and dealers, Fritz Reuter & Sons in Lincolnwood also means integrity.
STRINGS magazine featured this quote from Susan Barbieri's article "An Elegy for Ethics?": "Unbeknownst to buyers, many music teachers get commissions for helping students find instruments." (Unquote).
According to Mr. Reuter, it's very common for violin dealers to pay kickbacks when selling, repairing, or renting stringed instruments to students. Prices are arbitrary for these so-called "blind" purchases, because only certified appraisers can determine their "fair market value."
