We need to know if the Violin is the real deal or not. This definitely needs a part 2!

Dear God, what charmed me the most in this episode is not necessarily the ancient material but dear old Freddy. In past videos, we often saw him in his shop but he was always rather shy or at least, withdrawn. What a charming, funny and endearing guy! I would like to see him again in his other ''caves'' worthy of the tales of a thousand and one nights.

I am almost 99% sure that the violin is not a Stradivarius. Luthiers have made copies of Stradivarius instruments for centuries, and some even put a replica of the original label inside. That doesn't mean it is not a good instrument, but it will not have the value that can have a Stradivarius in an auction. If you are interested, there are lists of all Stradivarius known and who currently owns or plays them, and the possibility that it is a newly discovered instrument is very slim.

The amount of history this man has in a storage unit is insane

Already more exciting than 7 seasons of Storage Hunters

"Be careful, it might be loaded" points it directly in Freddies face

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE Do more videos with these guys. There so interesting and have incredible things to show us

We need part 2. So much interesting stuff to see and we barely saw anything.

Finally! Old school Producer Michael format.

Antonio Stradivari personally made about 1100 instruments, of which about 650 survive today. In addition to violins he made cellos, violas, harps and guitars. I've read that every violin he made is accounted for, either owned by someone (or an institution) or is definitely known to be gone (destroyed in a fire perhaps). There are no 'lost' Stradivarius violins. That said, there have been tens of thousands of copies made, perhaps even more. They all tend to have a similar label marked, "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno [date]", exactly as seen on this violin. I'm no expert but even I can see that this is a copy and not a very good one at that. When people purchased these copies, they knew they weren't getting an original Stradivarius (for a modest price) but rather a copy of a style of violin first made by a recognized master. People today come across these copies and think, "Wow!! A genuine Stradivarius!! I'm rich!!". If this guy actually knows antiques, he is well aware of this and knows that what he's holding is not a genuine Stradivarius, but one of thousands of copies. Sticking a label inside a cheap violin doesn't make it an original Stradivarius. So this is just bullshit.

Dude, we need more of this stuff to see, I can honestly say it’s surreal to see stuff ,us humans used to use vs today.

Yes Michael please do more of these videos! And i think it was very noble and honourable of you to be honest to Freddie about the potential value of that violin.

That is amazing all the history he has just sitting in all those storage units. He needs to open up a museum or a gallery and he could charge an admission fee for charity. People would be willing to pay money just to see these museum qualify pieces. Please do more videos on this if Freddy is ok with it?

Old school Michael video. We want more of these

Wow! That has to be a contender for the most incredibly expensive & culturally unique storage room in the world! The sheer scale of the spectrum of items & artefacts he has amassed is almost insane! And the monetary value of it all is superfluous compared to amount of providence, heritage & history that he has gathered together in 1 place. If it wasn't for the fact he is such a nice guy, i would say it's almost criminal that all those treasures are sitting in storage - they're so gorgeous they should be seen & enjoyed.

More of Freddy please …what a wonderful place.

We need more of these videos!!!! Freddy is a charm and has one of the coolest collections I've ever seen

We need more! I don't care if it's split into 5 parts or an hour long episode

I'd love to see an appraisal video on the violin. Almost like an Antiques Road Show featuring Michael, Freddy, and Adam.

As a teenager in the 60s, I would travel to antique and "junk" stores in my area. Many of them looked similar to this man's. Fascinating!

I'd love to hear if the violin is genuine. There are lots of "copies" that aren't necessarily fakes. Luthiers will make their instruments off of the the Stradivarius pattern, and put the name inside, however usually, as in my cellos case, they will put the actual year they made it so its pretty clear that it is a copy. Sometimes they are tricky and stick and old looking label inside though..

Stradivarius? WOW!! That is just amazing. And then Freddy turns to point at some paintings and says "these are important" 🤣

Great video this week. How amazing that collection was and we didn't even see the entire storage unit. Please update us and let us know if the Stradivarius was authentic or not. I love that Michael and his musical background had an instant ping on his music radar when he saw that case on the shelf. Incredible collection! Thanks for sharing this with us.

I love these kinds of videos I could sit here and watch for hours of them going through this amazing collection.

One of my favorite videos yet, thank you, truly hope for more of these soon

What a fun video!! It brings the best out in Freddy, Michael and Adam. More caves please.

Michael is such an honest and humble soul. God Bless you Michael.

I love this guy already, WE NEED PART TWO!

In in tears this is so beautiful, more of this please 🙏 ❤

What an amazing collection, and just a small part of what Freddie has! Please, please, please let us know more about the 'Stradivarus' violin.

When I was a kid my daddy knew this very portly guy. We had been to his building in California. He had tons of nautical items. He had hatch boards,diving helmets, wood ladies from front of old sailing ships tons of stuff. My daddy went 2 times with us to haggle for items. He kept those things in his apt. Really cool...

We definitely need to figure out whether or not that violin is legit. I hope Adam and Michael will let us know. Freddy is an actual treasure. Love that guy.

Good to get some of these items shown on video for all to see. More videos showing Freddie's collection needed.

Yossi Dina has 10 of them

Standard late 19th / early 20th century German trade violin with a Strad label. Tens of thousands of these were imported into the US, they are very common to find. Worth a few hundred dollars at auction. Worth a bit more setup in a music shop, maybe $1-2k. The case is interesting but not uncommon in the US and not worth a crazy amount either.

Absolutely amazing ! I cannot wait to see the other units ❤❤❤

I love this video you guys have outdone yourself today thank you Michale and Adam have a Mary Christmas and a happy new year

Great Video, Michael and Adam , i never thought you would make this , more of this please ! i use to watch a show called "storage wars" all day long. Wow everythings a surprise , part 2 or maybe up to 5 since he said theres 5 others🤣

Dang ! I want to hang out with that guy , sounds like he hits a jackpot with everything he touches , and even if it isn't the stuff he collects and the stories are priceless and what makes things fun ! A new and different adventure around every corner and in a dang storage unit ! One thing for sure they do need to be stored a bit safer and not just sitting on the floor or shoved where ever ! My OCD kicks in seeing that !

We definitley need more of these videos. They are amazing!

Finally this kind of content. Expensive antique collections

I love watches videos but I have to say, this was the best one yet. Unbelievable stuff! Beautiful ! Please make more

Simply mind boggling. Freddy is an obsessive collector deep down to keep hold of all this stuff. He is obviously well off already and doesn't need to sell the stuff. Lucky him!

Freddy is awesome.. what a character. Love to see more of him!

He is a very funny and cool guy. A very very educated person. God bless Freddie 👏👏👏

More of these videos please! Absolutely love it! We want Alibabas cave part 2-3-4-5-6-7... =D

This has got to be one of the best channels Producer Michael is great to watch. Very entertaining

Wow!! What an amazing video! Been watching producer Micheal for a long long time!

I DEFINITELY want to see more! Like all of it

Michael is an absolute gent. A man of honour.

Kudos to Michael for being so honest for not having taken advantage of the owner of the violin. This just shows what a fine person Michael is.

Yes please, more of these videos as they're surprising.

So I am guessing that is not a real Stradivarius because Freddy was too calm about it and I am sure him as a collector already did his research. Can't imagine he wouldn't have known especially if it's so easy to spot.

More of this. Amazing

One word. Insane. All these antiques in a storage shed. Just amazing. So cool.

Fantastic video…thoroughly enjoyed that 😊 we need more!

The stradivarius bit felt super acted.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more of the antiques and collectables... love your watch shows and jewellery , and sometimes the houses, .. and cars are cool... BUT please please please do more antique episodes.. cheers Michael.

These guys are great. I've been by there shop, but never inside. Michael and Adam are the greatest too. Whoever thought that dreaming about stuff you can't afford would be so entertaining. Awesome episode.

Great content guys, love the honesty with business deals. Would love to see the other caves of wonder.

What a great soul Micheal is. No wonder he is successful. Keeping the honest positive vibe throughout his life. Karma really does work folks.

Please do a follow up vid on the violin ❤

Been into antiques for over 4 decades now, i'd LOVE to walk through just to look !! T.Y. 4 the video.

You can always tell a gun naïve person from someone who grew up around them from the moment they pick up any gun. My man Michal immediately aimed it right at dude.

My fav type of videos. Want more!

Just goes to show producer Michael has a honest soul

this is the best video I have seen by far. would love to see a part 2 showing more antiquities.

OMG this is by far the most amazing episode ever guys, truly amazing!!!

Michael is great guy; he did not take advantage to buy the violin for couple of thousands but took effort to point out its potential value. That's what friends are for!

Interessante....thank you Michael! You are the best!

Super impressive. Love how honest micheal is. Hard to find these days. Love to pick that guys brain and just explore in his places.

Micheal we need such videos more then any others because it is fun and very interesting to watch and know same time. It’s so interesting every next items is like mystery one and trust it guys it’s so fun

These are the absolute best videos, just seeing parts of history and extremely rare items you never get to see otherwise. keep em coming

More like this please

Wow!!! I'm speechless . Your friend seems so kind and sweet . I hope nobody takes advantage of him . Good eye on that violin . I'm a glass collector ,not violins . But that label looks like the real thing. It shows aging , and the wood is gorgeous . Isn't it the type of wood used, that gives the I strident that beautiful sound?

We won't even fast forward a video like this... It's worth every second watching it. Thanks for sharing with us.

100% not a genuine strad. Oddly enough, with these old violins, the bow that came with it is worth more than the violin.

Waiting for this kind of locker to turn up on Storage Wars 😀

Peace & Love to you and Adam all the way from Sheffield, England. Happy Christmas to the both of you, thankful and grateful for your productions ☮️💜🕉

This man needs to put all this in a gallery or museum. Let the public see this beautiful collection in its entirety.

That's insane...the crazy thing is that we only saw maybe 10 items :O and he has 5 other storage spaces!

Can we have a super high quality watch episode now please 😭😭😭

This is the most fascinating video from Producer Micheal by far !

What a wonderful episode. More of these please.

WE NEED YOSSI DINA! HE IS THE MASTER OF ART.

This was great! Freddy doesn't know how many goodies he has, does he? Incredible! Very nice to watch!

So excited to finish this. We've heard about it, but now get to see it! Now all we need is that Drum sesh! ;)

down right amazing.. thanks for sharing.. without a doubt one of your best videos..

Please do more with Freddie

I hope the Violin get authenticated, and you guys need to do another video if it's real or a copy.

It great when, you do these kind of episode, the people make them, even more fun and there knowledge is amazing.

That was a very lovely thing to do when you found out that violin was a Stratus Many people would’ve run out the door with it you’re still good to see some people have got a few good integrity about them. Watch you KZfaq videos and always a lot of fun. Many thanks, Tommy😊

There are many fakes. Hope it’s an original and it sells for millions 🤞🤞🙏🏻

Videos are getting back on track! But... why are they still so short & seem rushed?

Michael : Be carefull it can be loaded! *Michael aims full on Freddy*

Beautiful antiques, reminds me of my later dealers shop, she was one of those dealer/collector/hoarder types I can remember her giving me loads because I would take a passing interest from a broken fountain pen to a bagful of silver and a massive box of coins

Michael you are one of the kindest human being I have ever seen,and I love your videos.I have I watch collections collecting since 2006,probably worth like one of your watches. Started collecting back when I was doing cafe concerts in Budapest and Vienna. I think people like me ,we all dream to have I nice watch ,and sometimes watching your videos,I can imagine to have I nice Patek😊

We just found our new Yosi dina!!!… freddy is such a beautiful person… i am so happy they gave him this opportunity , he is amazing

Amazing video. It’s such a shame that all them beautiful items are all hidden away and not being enjoyed. Hope to see more items on a future video, there’s content for months in this unit.

We need a part 2 asap please. I'm hooked
