These include \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003enumerous forms, starting basis for the manufacture of an instrument, which were used to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003emodel the ribs and subsequently seal them to the top, bottom and corner-blocks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe forms, usually in walnut and maple, are sometimes accompanied by sets of models in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ewood or paper, such as, for example, the ones used for the manufacture of the alto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eMedicean viola or the tenor Medicean viola, the ones used for the making of a violino \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003epiccolo, or those used to realize the 1727 twelve string viola d’amore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eWhen designing his instruments Antonio Stradivari proceeded with extreme \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003emeticulousness. Once an instrument had been completed in each of its parts, the set of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003emodels that had been used for its realization was marked with a letter of the alphabet, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ecollected and stored up in paper sheet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe forms for violin exhibited are arranged in chronological order. The first two forms, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eundated, belong to the period in which Stradivari’s violins showed a clear legacy of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eNiccolò Amati’s typical style. Simone Ferdinando Sacconi allocated them to the period \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ebefore 1689. The three successive forms, always according to Sacconi, are also allocated \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eto the period prior to 1689 and they recall the phase following the so called Amati \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe remaining forms used by Stradivari in the course of his long activity of violin making \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ebelong to the years of maturity. These are all dated, with the only exception of the one that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eStradivari used to make, along with many other famous violins, the 1715 Cremonese ex \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eJoachim, which is now in the collection “The strings of the Palazzo Comunale of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eCremona”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eOnly three forms for viola are exhibited at the Stradivari Museum: the first one was used \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003efor the manufacture of the alto viola of 1672; the second one was used for the alto viola of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ethe 4 October 1690; the third one for the tenor viola also dated 4 October 1690.
