Violin restoration must be done professionally. The development and history of the instrument almost coincides with modern physics. The history and importance of these tools of art is that big.

While the great scientist Newton was developing mechanics and defining astronomy. In Cremona another master, Antonio Stradivari, was busy making some of the most valuable and nowadays, expensive musical tools. This instrument hails from the musical family 'violas', in existence for some 100 years already.

The musical instrument received its final form from another Italian master. The man in question is Gasparo from Salo and his pupil Giovanni Majid. Like the modern electric guitar that evolution was caused by the need to enhance the sound in public performances.

It was daring and easy enough for the average person to use. In the royal courts, the viola still had a place of honor. The design was also used by the great master Andrea Amati, from Cremona. His work was carried further by his sons, who refined the musical instrument's design.

There is a rumor that Stradivari studied in Amati's workshop. That rumor is based on a single sign on one of his violins, attributing it the style of Amati's work. What we do know is that they both lived in Cremona in the late 17'th century and that Stradivari began making violins in the style of Amati.

Soon after, Stradivari starts to create his own work, in his own workshop. This marks the beginning of a long and distinguished career. During this career, the master creates over 1,000 violins.

By 1750 the violin had won wide recognition. The most truly famous and brilliant composers of those times were writing works that are typical for this instrument. Their requirements led to some final changes to its design, which has further led to an increase of the importance of effective violin restoration.
