Biographies
John Dilworth
KLOTZ, Sebastian (I) Born 1696, died 1775 Mittenwald Germany Son, pupil, and successor of Matthias Klotz, above. Worked in the family home in Herrenglasse, taking ownership in 1728. Father of three violin makers: Georg Karl, Aegidius and Joseph Thomas. He also taught four apprentices: Anton, Andreas, and Johann Augustin Gasler (Gassler), and Johann Georg Psenner (II). One of the finest makers of the family, with a very sophisticated style midway between Amati and Stainer, sometimes slightly oversized. From c.1760 his production declined into more routine work, probably executed in the main by his sons and pupils. Original labels are comparatively rare and many examples are found with generic Mittenwald Amati or Stainer tickets. Sometimes inscribed internally: ‘S.K.’. Manuscript labels up until c.1750; thereafter printed. Sebastian Kloz, in / Mittenvvald, An. 1752 [Layer, Baader]
