William Bartuff The earliest known four string violin was created by Andrea Amati in 1555. Although there were violin like instruments before this, it was the Amati violin that we would recognize as a 'violin' today. The Amati family would go on to produce famous violins until the mid 18th century, with the family eventually being eclipsed by Stradivari, who's instruments are considered to be among the greatest made.
