Cremona. Lombardy, Italy, in 1914.
and died in 1877, ninety-three years
Of age. His early violin was made
like his master Amatl's and signed
with his name. In 1910 he first began
TO sign his own instruments with his
own name. During the following
twenty years he only made few The
wear 1890 was one Of transition In his
career but still he preserved the
tradition NJ the Amatis school and his
viollns of this period are commonly
called Stradivarius Amatis. His finest
instruments were constructed from
100 10 l725 during the subsequent
five years TO 1880 the workmanship OF
them is not of so high an order: and
In 1870, or even a little earlier. the
impress OF Strndivari is almost entire
