		The first real violin was built by Andrea Amati in the first half of the 16th century by order of the Medici family, who had asked for an instrument that could be used by street musicians, but with the quality of a lute, which was a very popular instrument among the noble in that time.
		The violin immediately became very popular, both among street musicians and the nobility, illustrated by the fact that the French king Charles IX ordered Amati to build a whole orchestra in the second half of the 16th century.
		The violin is used as a solo instrument in jazz, though it is a relative rarity in this genre; compared to other instruments, such as saxophone, trumpet, piano and guitar, the violin appears fairly infrequently.

	Charlotte Higgins on the Stroh violin \| Classical and opera \| Guardian Unlimited Music
		But he also discovered that the instrument was a form of "Stroh" violin, an eccentric type of fiddle developed in the late 19th century but almost obsolete by the second world war.
		Augustus Stroh, a German émigré to London born in 1828, was an engineer working in telegraphy and acoustics.
		His violin, which he developed between 1899 and 1901, provided a solution to a problem of the early years of recording: the sound produced by conventional string instruments was too quiet and too directionless (compared with wind and brass instruments) to be picked up easily by the recording horns used before microphones were developed.

		Stroh Violin was invented in 1899 by Carl Augustus Stroh.
		Until around 1920, records were cut by the band standing around a large horn connected to a needle scraping the grooves into the master, and strings were hard to record.
		So Stroh removed the violin's sound chamber and replaced it with a brass (later aluminium) horn attached to the bridge.

	Stroh violin (or "Phonofiddle")
		Stroh manufactured a variety of string instruments (violin, cello, bass, guitar) with diaphragm/horn attachments from 1901 to 1942 in London.
		(Those instruments, however, had the usual number of strings, arrangement of frets, and so on.) Stroh got the patent, but there were several copycat makers of horned instruments around this time.
		The purpose was to make the instruments loud enough to compete with brass and woodwinds in ensemble -- particularly when recording using Edison's mechano-acoustic wax cylinders.
