Antonio & Hieronymus Amati, Cremona, c.1616 CI016
4/4 Only
The Brothers
Amati are considered to be two of Cremona’s finest
makers. Their work closely follows that of their father
Andrea, the founder of the Cremona school. Their violins
are typically femininely small while their tenor and
bass instruments are more robust both in size and tone.
The cello is typical of the Brothers Amati’s work,
although like all of their cellos it has been
reduced in size.
The cello was owned by
Stephen Jocelyn (1960-2003), founder of The Sound Post
Ltd.
