Amati Quartet
The Amati Quartet is a Canadian string quartet.
The quartet is associated with the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.
The university owns four rare and highly valuable instruments made by 17th-century luthier Nicolo Amati that it loans to the performers of the quartet. The instruments were sold to the university by farmer and collector Steven Kolbinson in 1959 for CND $20,000 and are now worth over CND $3 million.
