Stradivarius instruments

Violins This list has 282 entries.

Early period: 1666–1699

Golden period: 1700–1718

Late period: 1726–1737

Cellos Antonio Stradivari built between 70 and 80 cellos in his lifetime, of which 63 are extant.

Guitars Five complete guitars by Stradivari exist, and a few fragments of others – including the neck of a sixth guitar, owned by the Conservatoire de Musique in Paris. These guitars have ten (doubled, five-course) strings, which was typical of the era.

Harps The only surviving Stradivarius harp is the arpetta (little harp), owned by San Pietro a Maiella Music Conservatory in Naples, Italy.

Mandolins There are two known extant Stradivari mandolins. The Cutler-Challen Choral Mandolino of 1680 is in the collection of the National Music Museum at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota. The other, dated c. 1706, is owned by private collector Charles Beare of London. Known as Mandolino Coristo, it has eight strings.

Bows A Stradivarius bow, The King Charles IV Violin Bow attributed to the Stradivari Workshop, is currently in the collection of the National Music Museum Object number: 04882, at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota. The Rawlins Gallery violin bow, NMM 4882, is attributed to the workshop of Antonio Stradivari, Cremona, c. 1700. This is one of two bows attributed to the workshop of Antonio Stradivari.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Stradivarius instruments

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Stradivarius instruments claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Stradivarius instruments before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Stradivarius instruments ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Stradivarius instruments

In research: List of Stradivarius instruments appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Stradivarius instruments in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Stradivarius instruments is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Lists of musical instruments, Stradivari instruments, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of Stradivarius instruments outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
