Reply to comment by Holiday-Snow4803 in ELI5: Why does it seem so that the value of violins grows more/higher than it does for other instruments? by Holiday-Snow4803

Oh, I hear you -- a while back I was curious why a cello and violin cost the same since a violin is so much smaller.

And the answer I got was that violins, being so small, are a lot harder to make because they're still as complex as a cello but, well, a lot smaller. That takes a lot more skill and specialised tools.
