During the medieval ages is when the very first stringed instruments were created. Stringed instruments are those that are played with a bow. The first instrument that was created is that instrument that we now know as a Fiddle.

However, the Fiddle didn’t really have too much in common with the violin. During the 15th century is when the Violin was in the process of being created. It was not yet exposed until the early years of the 16th century. Shortly after this the cello and the viola were created out of the idea of the violin.

Violins and other instruments that are in the same category are all known as a group called Stringed Instruments Family. The group was created in order to modify the satisfaction of the sounds that were needed during these times in Italy. The Violin has been improved over the past several decades, but it still remains about the same as it was when it first came out.

The quality of the strings and the other wooden materials improved over time which allows them to last a lot longer.

During the 30 years war, which Italy ended up escaping, the Violin reached a peak in popularity.

Andrea Amati became a popular founder of one of the most famous violin making schools of all time. Shortly after this, the creation of the Violin spread out all across Europe.

Cremona has always been known and remembered or being the home of creating the best Violins. Two of the most popular types of Violins which were created by Stradiveri and Guarneri remain to be the most preferred Violins by people all over the world. The quality of these Violins is simply superb.

By the time the 18th century hit, there was such a high demand for the Violin that the inventory was low. The developers of the Violin had to start making them twice as fast as what they were previously. This however affected the quality of the Violins, causing them to not last as long since developers were required to use varnish that would dry a lot faster.

Now violin lovers and the creators truly miss the old varnish which allows the good quality of the violins to last a lot longer. Since the old varnish was missed so much the violin makers begin to try to invest in time to created the old varnishes once again.

There have been complaints of the Violins that have been created in the later times because the rivers the waterways which transport them now are not as pure as what they were in the early years. In fact, they are more polluted. The substances that are in the water which are polluted have penetrated into the wood.

As the wood dries, the substance that was in the water remains in the wood which affects the quality of the wood. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done to reverse this affect as the purity of the waterways cannot be changed.
