Antonio Stradivari
born 1644?, Cremona, Duchy of Milan died Dec. 18, 1737, Cremona Italian musical-instrument maker. An apprentice of Nicolò Amati (from 1666), he established his own business in Cremona, eventually working with his sons Francesco (1671-1743) and Omobono (1679-1742). Though he made other instruments (including harps, lutes, mandolins, and guitars), few survive, and after 1680 he concentrated on violins. Moving away from the Amati style, he developed ( 1690) the "long Strad." The Stradivari method of violin making created a standard for subsequent times; he devised the modern form of the violin bridge and set the proportions of the modern violin, with its shallower body that yields a more powerful and penetrating tone than earlier violins. The period 1700-20 is considered the peak of his productivity and quality
