- Andrea Amati; the Italian inventor; is the one created what we know as the modern violin in 1580.
- The violin, much like other instrumental pieces such as the piano, has been around for a long, long time. And of course since it's such an old piece, many people have gone and claimed that they were the inventors of it, although this is true in a few cases.
- The modern violin that we know today is the one that deserves the most credit.
Although many people have contributed to the invention of the violin, Andrea Amati was known for making the first violin that resembles the modern violin (i.e. four strings).

∙ 14y agoThe violin was born in Italy during the 16th century. Andrea Amati (1511-1577), an Italian that lived during this time, was perhaps the inventor of the violin. This man was commissioned by the French king Charles IX to create these instruments. In the 16th century, violins looked very different -- they were covered with ornate drawings and paintings. Very few violins from this era still exist today, and they are considered priceless artifacts.
Knowledge of violin making continued to pass through the Amati family for several generations. Eventually, the highly prized and secret method for creating violins found its way to two men: Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Andrea Guarneri (1626-1698). Violins made by Stradivari and the Guarneri family still exist and are some of the most expensive and most highly prized violins today.

The reason he was able to do so is because he was positioned, by King Charles IX of France, at the time, to create something new and exciting for the kingdom to enjoy, musically. Andrea Amati was an Italian inventor who was credited with the invention of the violin. He would create this instrument and it would look very different then the one we are used to seeing today as they were splashed with interesting drawings as well paintings that covered the instrument from head to toe.

∙ 13y agoVery hard to know, considering the violin evolved from the Viol family. New techniques made the instrument much louder than the viol it eventually replaced. It was probably in Italy though
