Worked in Mittenwald about 1740-55. He died young; his instruments are rare and but little known, but are said to be among the best of those made by the Klotz family. In a very well made violin with dark varnish, almost black in colour, is the label: " Joan Carol Klotz in Mittenwald, an. 1750"; a similar label was dated 1753.
