Stradivari Violin
Violin · Italy
The violins of Antonio Stradivari (Cremona, c. 1666-1737) are the most celebrated in the Western tradition, prized for their projecting, complex tone and refined construction in spruce and maple. Stradivari's output spans an early Amatise period, the experimental 'Long Pattern' of the 1690s, and the mature 'golden period' after 1700 that produced his most sought-after instruments. Surviving examples carry individual names and are held by museums, foundations, and leading soloists; several are cataloged here as exemplars.
