An encyclopedia of the violin, Alberto Bachmann. 1925. Page 31, scan 53. Held as more than one scan.
HORNSTEINER, FRANZ, 1782 to 1820. Franz Hornsteiner imitated the Klotz model closely, and used a yellow or a golden brown varnish. The tone is of an even mellow character, and the instruments resemble those of Andreas Jais, another well-known Mittenwald maker.
