Credited with constructing the first musical instrument of the modern violin family
This violin, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, may have been part of a set made for the marriage of Philip II of Spain to Elisabeth of Valois in 1559, which would make it one of the earliest known violins in existence.
Andrea Amati was a luthier, from Cremona, Italy.[1][2]
Amati is credited with making the first instruments of the violin family that are in the form we use today.[3]
Several of his instruments survive to the present day, and some of them can still be played.[3][4][5]
Many of the surviving instruments were among a consignment of 38 instruments delivered to Charles IX of France in 1564.[6]
