Five thousand years ago, there was a Sri Lankan monarch named Rivana. He hollowed out the cylindrical wood and made a musical instrument very similar to China Erhu, called Rivana Sterlon. In the long history, Rivana Sterlon has spread all over the world by trade and is the originator of violin.

However, according to historical records, the earliest violin was made by a man named Dasaro, who lived in the northern Italian town of Brescia. But at the same time, Amati in Grimont also made a violin more similar to the modern one.
