Music connects us with the inner-self. There is no doubt that music soothes our mind and brings us a level closer to our souls. There is no death of musical instruments. Guitars (electric and acoustic), pianos, drums, flutes, saxophones and many more continue to weave melody which enthralls us all. There is nothing better and overwhelming than listening to a beautiful song that goes inside our flesh and bones and creates an impression in the lanes of our soul.

However, there is one instrument which is particularly melodious to the core. We are talking about the 'violins'. When we talk of a violin, the first name that strikes our thoughts is the famous, world renowned 'Amati violin'. As the name suggests, 'Amati' refers to a family of violin makers of Italy. The family hierarchy (from beginning to now) in context to the violin can be summarized as Andrea Amati, Antonio and Girolamo Amati, Nicolo Amati, etc.

The "Amati violin" is known simply for the beautiful sound that it produces when it is played. The family that created this fine-quality instrument did so using great precision and craftsmanship. Even in today's society where a physical being is not often needed to produce a high quality product, the Amati violin still tops all others.

The luthiers of Italy are known throughout the world. They are known because Andrea Amati made a violin. This violin has made a name not only for himself, but for his descendants. The craze for his fiddles are so great that the term violin in Italy means "Amati-violin."

Italian violins are known for the meticulous attention to detail that leads directly to their distinctive sound. Whether they are played in a jazz band, a world class symphony, or as a bluegrass fiddle, the warmth and style of the music will not fail to impress listeners.

Even a few thousand words will not suffice to describe the beauty, style and quality of an "Amati violin". After all, how can mere words express the beauty of the musical notes coming from the hand-carved body of an Italian fiddle? So the next time you want to go on a journey of melody and peace, do drop in to a musical store (which sells fiddles of the famous Amati family) and you will be all ears.
