11KLOTZ, Joseph, Tyrol.
12KLOZ, Matthias, Tyrol, 1670—1696. Pupil of Stainer. 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.
13KLOZ, Sebastian, Tyrol, son of Matthias Kloz. The instruments of this maker are highly valued, they are superior in pattern and style to those of his father. The model is flat as compared with most Violins of the German school. The varnish varies, but it sometimes appears to be of the quality belonging to that of Albani.
14KLOZ, George, Tyrol, brother of Sebastian Kloz. Instruments well made, chiefly yellow in colour; wood often worm-eaten.
