The company Famiglia Artigiana Fratelli Ruffatti (Italian: “Ruffatti brothers' family of craftsmen”) was founded in 1940 by Alessio, Antonio and Giuseppe Ruffatti in Padua. In the 1960s one of the brothers, Antonio, bought his brother's stake in the company. In 1968, Antonio Ruffatti's sons, Francesco and Piero Ruffatti, became participating partners in the company. In 1992 Antonio Ruffatti handed over the management to his sons.

In addition to its focus on North America , Fratelli Ruffatti is active worldwide and, according to its own statements, has built over 500 instruments in Italy.
