A claim that Andrea Amati received the first order for a violin from Lorenzo de' Medici in 1555 is invalid as Lorenzo de' Medici died in 1492. A number of Andrea Amati's instruments survived for some time, dating between 1538 (Amati made the first Cello called "The King" in 1538) and 1574.
The violin-like instruments that existed when Amati began his career only had three strings. [10] Amati is credited with creating the first four stringed violin-like instrument.

Amati would also have been a logical choice for Antonio's parents, as he represented an old family of violin makers in Cremona, and was far superior to most other luthiers in Italy. [15] Some researchers [who?] believe there is a closer educational association between Antonio Stradivari and Francesco Rugeri than has previously been recognized ...
Melkus' later recordings of such works as Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord were made on a retrofitted violin bearing the label of Nicolo Amati of Cremona, 1679; Amati ceased making instruments in 1670, dying in 1684, aged 87, so the instrument is the work of one of the makers he still supervised in his shop. Though perhaps richer ...
The cello is described as dating from 1630.

Sources such as Cozio report that the entire span of Antonio Amati's working life was 1588–1628. [8]

But just two years later, in 2018, the Swedish DJ and musician tragically died by suicide at the age of 28. Born in Stockholm as Tim Bergling, Avicii began releasing electronic dance music in 2008.
Later that year he returned to Mexico where President Díaz gave him an Amati violin "as a present from the Mexican Nation" for his excellent performance in foreign countries. In Mexico City, Carrillo began intense work as violinist, orchestra conductor, composer and teacher.
