Many say "copy of" and most don't. The violins that had "Conservatory" carved or stamped on the back of the scroll were made in european factories and sold to school districts all over the world. The more violins a school board ordered the better the deal. Violin playing classes were offered by the schools for a fee and a violin was included whether you wanted it or not. I know people that got these violins with their classes back in the 1940s, & '50s. One says he told them he had his father's violin but they made him take a new one and pay the full price for the class. These violins are usually very well made and can sound wonderful depending on which factory and which era it came from. Without seeing yours the best guess is the value could be anywhere from fifty bucks to two thousand dollars. You don't have a real Stradivarius.
