a strange mélange of feelings within me.

Definition from American Heritage Dictionary
The oldest violin existing today was made in 1564. It was crafted by
Andrea Amati of Cremona, Italy. The violin was pictured in Italian art as early as 1508.
This instrument combined the characeristics of several earlier bowed instruments, among
them the: Moorish rebec, medieval fiddle, and lira da braccio The softer viol family of
bowed strings was played while held on the performer's lap or between the legs. This
instrument continued to survive for about a century after the development of the violin,
but it could not compete with the brilliance and flexibility of the newer instrument. Sources: Encyclopedia Britanica
