Matthias (I) Klotz

Highest auction price achieved
£ 6316.00

By George Hart

Is reported to have been a pupil of Stainer; born about 1640. The work is good but the varnish poor. Much of the wood that he used was cut at the wrong season, and is consequently worm-eaten. It is an error to give Matthias the foremost place in this large family of Violin makers—his son Sebastian was his superior.
