	Amati Quartet
		Three string quartets bearing the name Amati have been based in Canada: Two separate Amati string quartets have performed on 17th-century instruments built by the Amati family of Italy, and owned by the University of Saskatchewan; and a third unrelated Amati String Quartet was based in Toronto, 1985-2000.
		This first Amati String Quartet was founded in 1968 by Murray Adaskin and three other faculty members of the University of Saskatchewan: Norma Lee Bisha, second violin, Michael Bowie, viola, and Edward Bisha, cello.
		The instruments are the only set in Canada built by the Amati family of Cremona - one violin in 1627, another violin in 1637, the viola in 1607, and the cello in 1690.

	The Amati Clone Project
		Some people have found problems with room and amplifier sensitivity, suggesting that the Amatis are hard to build a system around, and I've heard that in the wrong system they can be a little fatiguing in the long term, so I suppose it's a case of each to their own tastes.
		The use of traditional varnishes and woodworking techniques is a very labour-intensive and costly way of solving the problems of speaker design and execution (constrast the Amati, for illustration, with the Wilson Benesch ACT, which uses similar shape and dimensions in its cabinet but very much more up-to-date materials and technology).
		The extraordinary creations on the Amati, which first made their appearance on the Guarneri Homage, are by contrast in a different world from what is routinely attached to even high-end loudspeakers.
