A Very Good German Violin by a Member of the Klotz Family (probably Sebastian II), Mittenwald, circa 1790.

The name Klotz is almost certainly the one dynsaty which most people interested in instruments think of when they hear the name Mittenwald in relation to the violin, and the various members occupied central roles in the industry of the region over different generations for much of the 18th and into the 19th centuries. This violin, which retains its original neck, is a very typical example of their workmanship, delivering a clean, clear, and bell-like tone with an immediate response, and It would be an ideal instrument for an advanced or very promising player.
