RE: What's it worth?

Amati is the make, Kraslice is the place in the Czech Republic where these instruments are made. The 3-- series is their intermediate line instrument. Their current catalogue refers to the 311-II model, suggesting they've had a rebrand since the one you're talking about was made.

If you do a search on this BB there are a number of strings relating to the quality of Amati instruments. GBK did a review of their professional level full-Boehm A a while back (favourable), but there was also a debate on the extent to which the quality of production had changed over the past 10 years (consensus seems to be newer = better).

To get an idea of the price, you could look online at some of the major instrument retailers' sites to see how much new #IIs are retailing for.

Others will, I'm sure, have more informed views. Hope this helps a little.
