I used to have an "Amati" (definitely Amati style) whose paper label said something like---me mano de Amati 17?? Cremona, Italia. The label was garbled Latin and modern Italian, I sold it for $100 US to a young lady who needed a better fiddle. Somewhere on line there is an article about Attic Strads. It was a nice fiddle, but not an Amati.
