same: Jacob Stainer (1621 —1683) and Antonius Stradi-varius (1644—1737). Of the Amati violins, those of Nicolas Amati are the best; the most perfect specimens of violin-making, at present unsurpassed, were made by Stradivarius. In his instruments everything is perfected, — tone, model, varnish, etc.
After Stradivarius the finest violins are those of his pupil Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu (1683—1745), and there are many of them which rank with those of Stradivarius. |
