Amati Violin, "Mendelssohn", 1588

I would like to find Thomas Jefferson's Amati violin. Does anyone know where it went, or where it might be?

Cathy was that a Grand Amati violin or a smaller one ?

try and get a shot a on a Grand Pattern Amati Made by Nicolius Amati

There is much more about female violinists also during the baroque era. Look per example at Antonio Vivaldi, who was a priest and violin teacher at the Ospedale de la Pieta, one of four homes for female orphans. There was an female string orchestra he composed his concertos for. Even so he had famous female pupils, per example Anna Maria. She performed about 30 violinconcertos from Vivaldi, which were dedicated to her. Later she herself became violinteacher at the Ospedale de la pieta.

Mam,what violin string you use on that????

Very warm ,

Bless you!

Would like a showcase on the Guarnieri instruments if possible. Thank you entirely!😅

Since it was designed for gut strings, don't you think it may sound even better strung with the same?

Some Bach has a violino piccolo in the score. If women didn't play violins pre-1750 that shoots down it beginning as a womens instrument

Es ist unglaublich, daß solche fine Instrumente nach so vielen Jahrhunderten immer noch existieren. Ihre leichte Ansprache, sanfter Umriß und süßer Ton, machen sie hoch Begehrenswert.

please check your info,a piccolo violin is around 266mm in length,this violin is a standard mostly for the time small violin measuring 352/53 but string length is 126 ,thats why you can mostly play it without much adjustment.a piccolo violin came later. this a small full sized violin,thats all

Perfect for baroque and classical period music.

This instrument suits you perfectly Katha!!

Thank you.

Wonderful sound!

How many mm long is the back? BTW, I've listened to several of your videos & it's the first violin I've heard from that far back in time, so I was not expecting a wonderful sound, thinking violins had 'improved' since then, but this fiddle sounds exceptional !!

Amazing 🤩 it sounds beautiful ❤️ 🎻👍

Hope this violin mine

Your videos are fantastic. Keep up the great work!

The sound of that one was vibrant n had it's tones bringing u down with an uprising effect that ur whole body could feel what a Master of the world & his violins! 😊🎶🎶🤗

Ola sou Brasileiro gostaria muito se você falace sobre o violin Teccheler eu possuo um desde já meu muito obrigada 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇧🇷🎻

It's interesting how the bow looks proportionally much longer given it's a full sized bow with a very small violin.

beautifully mellow resonance

I own the same violin and really enjoy it very much over 40 years my violin is a hand made copy of a grand Nicolaus Amati 1800 love it very much that one you just played is a grand pattern Nicolaus Amati violin not his fathers as only Nicolaus Amati made the Grand pattern Amati and was the teacher of so many great makers including Stradivari who actually was his God son whom he left all his tools to

Andrea castagneri sound better, although they are same tone

私はシュタイナーとアマテイの名器を愛用しています。ガルネリやストラビより、女性的で音の膨らみが全く違います。
アマテイはフォーレ・
ドビュッシー・サンサーンス等、繊細なフランス音楽の室内楽向きですね。
逆にガルネリやストラビは、ダイナミックなベートーベンやブラームスの
協奏曲にふさわしいです。
アマテイはとてもセクシーな音色です。
日本人はアマテイの良さがわからない様子ですね。
いずれの名器も、曲目によりひきわけています。

これは
アンドレアの息子の楽器だと思いますが

もっと古いバイオリンも現存していますよ

Lovely review, Happy New Year!

Wo.....The sound of this Violin is so sweet...... really love it.

Hope to see your report about the Salo cello and the Chi Mei's cello collection and perhaps the Alberti violin!

Is her chair creaking?

Please do Hopfs violins!!!

"Amaughddy"

it has a much more pure tone powerful projection and far more accurate sound with to the ear it stirs the ear at the same time it projects the sound evenly throughout any passage and has penetrating sound throughout any work of music really a beautiful violin

Its incredibly difficult to get a super warm sound but also an open clear tone to that warmness with presence.....Amati does that....it creates the emotion and character almost as a living voice singing.....

Probably you were wrong informed, but small violin is not Piccolo instrument, it has completely different propose.
If i'm wrong, please show me some citations.

Thank you,
and greeting from Barcelona,
Eugeniu.

Really cute little thing, & it's perfect for ladies cause it's a 7/8 size.

The Amati violins are distinguished for their sweetness of tone....

I tried to find a good biography of the Amati family, can you recommend rescources on this family?

This is a serious question: What is used to polish these beautiful and delicate instruments?

the warmth🌻

Very beautiful looking and sounding violin! Thank you for all the information on this wonderful instrument 😊

I have had violin in my life for two weeks now. I search the sounds to know what I am aming at.
Yeah, I lack the skills, but the ame is there still.

These videos are great!

I love these beautiful old violins, they look like amazing art, which you can actually do something with.

I love LOVE the sound of this violin. It is so warm and rich. Lot's of depth and colour. A tribute to your amazing manner of drawing out the best in all of the violins that you play in these videos. I may have mentioned about my recent purchase of a Bellosio. It is slightly under full size and such a comfortable instrument to play. I must admit I have to adjust a bit from playing my full size, Roth from 1924, based on a Strad from 1724. Keep up with this wonderful work.

wonderful

PLEASE STOP TOUCHING THE BODY OF THE VIOLIN WITH YOUR FINGERS!!!

I don't know what it is about the Amati family violins, but they have so much personality and I have always personally considered them the most beautiful violins made. There was 0% copying involved. All ingenuity and personality.

I'd love to see a comparison of a Amati violin and a Maggini violin.
