Well, Andrea Amati is thought to have crafted the first example of a cello-shaped bass viol, and whether it was known as a violoncello or not is questionable. He made "The King" cello in the 16th century, and although it has been modified (made smaller in this case), the original cello is thought of to be the modern model of the baroque cello: wide. There were many viol-instruments during the quattrocento and the renaissance as a whole, but none approached the "modern-cello-look" of the Amati. Amati's sons and pupils went on to eventually teach Antonio Stradivari, the famed 18th century luthier.
