The 1649 \u2018Alard\u2019 is one of the finest instruments made by Nicol\u00f2 (Nicola) Amati, the originator of the \u2018Grand Amati\u2019 pattern and the teacher of Rugeri, Andrea Guarneri, Stainer and possibly even Stradivari himself. The carving of the scroll is particularly fine. Includes measurements<\/p>\n
\u2018I am convinced that Nicola Amati selected and prepared the materials for the \u201cAlard\u201d in order to achieve the maximum in both aesthetic beauty and functional effectiveness. When I look at this violin I have the overwhelming feeling that, right from the start, Nicola conceived it as something special.\u2019 \u2013 Roger Hargrave, The Strad, March 1992<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
