====The Trampler ca 1580====

Antonio & Girolamo Amati ca 1580–90

This instrument was cut down in size around 1800 from an original length of about 47&nbsp;cm. The ribs are painted with the inscription: "Non AEtesin Homine sed Virtus Consideramus".

Although the instrument comes with a certificate from Simone F. Sacconi attributing it to the Brothers Amati circa 1620, both Charles Beare and Jacques Francais believe it to be a work of Andrea Amati, possibly completed by the Brothers Amati, in which case its date would be closer to 1580.
