Three of the most notable violin makers from the 1600s known for their valuable instruments are Andrea Amati, Giovanni Battista Cremonese, and Nicola Amati. Andrea Amati is often credited with creating the first modern violin, while his descendants, particularly Nicolò Amati, further refined the craft. Giovanni Battista Cremonese, commonly known as Stradivari, emerged slightly later but became legendary for his exceptional violins, which are still highly sought after today.

I have an old violin that belonged to my grandfather. It is marked Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faceiebat Anno 16 Germany. Can you tell me about it and its value?
The Stradivarius set the standard for luthiers ever since the 1600s, so the fact that it is a Stradivarius alone makes it incredibly valuable. Be wary, though, as many luthiers tried to pass off their violins for Stradivari over the years. It is quite an early one (most were made in the 1700s) and it is very unusual to see it marked as German as Stradivarius was an Italian. I would definitely seek out an antiques expert and get a valuation. To check if it is a real Stradivarius, look for the crest. It has two strange fish on it, separated by a wave motif. Do not worry if there is no crest anywhere - they often come off with age, and later luthiers may have wanted to pass it off as their own. Another Stradivari crest is a circle with 'A S' (for Antoni Stradivari) and a cross in it.

Other instruments that they evolved from, such as the viola da gamba, had versions that were of similar size to both but had more strings and frets.
