The violin was born in Italy during the 16th century. Andrea Amati (1511-1577), an Italian that lived during this time, was perhaps the inventor of the violin. This man was commissioned by the French king Charles IX to create these instruments. In the 16th century, violins looked very different -- they were covered with ornate drawings and paintings. Very few violins from this era still exist today, and they are considered priceless artifacts.

Knowledge of violin making continued to pass through the Amati family for several generations. Eventually, the highly prized and secret method for creating violins found its way to two men: Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Andrea Guarneri (1626-1698). Violins made by Stradivari and the Guarneri family still exist and are some of the most expensive and most highly prized violins today.

When violin came into existence is a puzzle.
'We do not know exactly when the violin was invented because there is no definite definition for the violin.'

No one really knows...

"Who Invented The Violin?

We get asked this a lot. Unfortunately the answer is: Nobody knows.

But what people who ask this often want to know is how and when the violin came into being in its modern form. The best answer is gradual development between 1500 and 1600, but it was most likely around 1550 that a definite 'standard' for violin construction was formed. The violin is descended from early types of fiddle, such as the rebec and the viol, and the first violins were built using techniques adapted from rebec and viol construction."
