Stradivari's pochettes are the pochettes built by the great luthier Antonio Stradivari. Relatively few pochettes were made by Stradivari, and only two are known to be extant.[1] The pair is composed of a first thin kit/sardino hybrid style pochette (sometimes called the "Clapisson pochette" or "Clapisson kit") made by the luthier in his early career, and a second more compact violino piccolo named Le Fountaine.[2] The "Clapisson pochette" has been kept at the Conservatoire Museum in Paris since late 19th century.[3]

Called the "Clapisson pochette" or "Clapisson kit"[8] it was likely built in the 1670s and came under the ownership of violinist and composer Antoine-Louis Clapisson, (after whom it has become named), he made use of the pochette in one of his operas and after his death it was placed at Paris Conservatoire Museum, where Clapisson had been the first curator.[9][8][1]
