4/4 full sized Joseph Klotz (Kloz) Violin labeled Mittenwald 1795 in hard case with bow. Bow has no identifying marks. Klotz is a family of violin makers. Members of the Klotz (or Kloz) family have made violins in Mittenwald, Germany from the mid-17th century to the present. The Klotz family taught other families of the village the violin trade, and Mittenwald prospered and became well known for its violins. In A Dictionary of Music and Musicians 1900, the contributor Edward John Payne writes: \"Nine-tenths of the violins which pass in the world as \'Stainers\' were made by the Klotz family and their followers.\"Joseph (1743–1819), son of Sebastian, worked in a manner similar to that of his father. The quality of their instruments varies enormously, and many inferior, unauthentic examples have labels bearing the Klotz name.
