Furthermore, some composers were Arcangelo Corelli (1653-13) who was known for developing the “concerto grosso”, a trio, which has two violins and a cello

the instrument was truly conceived. It is believed the violin was developed around the 1500s and Italian luthiers polished the instruments features. The principle form of the violin was originally made by an Italian, Andrea Amati. In 1626, one of the world's first orchestras, the 24 Violons du Roi, attributed 5 different sizes of violins.

He pays them to make celli and bows for him (Rey, Rob. personal communication 2016); which he can
