Who is the creator of violin?

The creator of the violin is unknown, but it was a gradual development over time by various luthiers (makers of string instruments) in Italy during the 16th century. However, the most important figure in the history of violin making is Andrea Amati (c. 1505-1577) who lived and worked in Cremona, Italy. Amati and his sons developed and refined the design and construction techniques of the violin, setting a high standard for future luthiers.
