Are they of a similar quality to Stadivari?

  Probably. Professional musicians are unable to distinguish between modern violins and Stradivari. It’s just hype. The key point is summarized in this very article: “In fact, a 2012 double-blind study of 21 experienced violinists found that most of the subjects preferred playing the newer instruments; the Stradivarius ranked last in their preferences. Most of them couldn't tell the difference between the old and new instruments, with no significant correlation between an instrument's age and its monetary value.”
