KLOTZ, Johann Karl (Joan Carol) Born 1709, died 1769 Mittenwald Germany Son of Mathias Klotz (I), below. Thought to have been the pupil of Sebastian, his half-brother. He himself trained one apprentice, Phillip Sailer c.1737-1742, and his own sons Wolfgang and Michael, below. Less well disciplined in execution than some others of the family but similar model. Cremonese soundholes, characteristic head with small inner volute and extended last turn. Varnish thin and intense in colour, some more Amati-like golden-brown. Manuscript labels up to 1750; thereafter printed: Ioan. Carol Kloz, in / Mittenvvald, An 1752. Johan Carl Klotz fecit / in Mittenwald, 1754 Joan Carol Kloz / in Mittenwald, An 1780 [Layer, Baader, Senn]
