The other candidate he named was Gasparo' da Salo from Brescia. The violin-like instruments that existed when Amati began his career only had three strings.〔 〕 Amati is credited with creating the first four stringed violin-like instrument.〔 〕 Laurence Witten also lists Amati and Gasparo' da Salo, as well as Pellegrino de' Micheli, also from Brescia; as well and Ventura di Francesco de' Machetti Linarol, of Venice.〔 〕 Andrea Amati's two sons, Antonio Amati and Girolamo Amati were also highly skilled violin makers, as was his grandson Nicolò Amati, who had over a dozen highly regarded apprentices, including Antonio Stradivari and Andrea Guarneri. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrea Amati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
