Klaus Clement V3 Violin 3/4 Size
Klaus Clement began learning the art of violin-making in the workshop of Karl Hoefner/Paesold in Bubenreuth, Germany. In 2010 Clement opened his own workshop in Leipzig, Germany. He is an active member in many organisations including the association of German Violin and Bow Makers. This instrument comes with a certificate, declaration of materials and photos from the maker.
This violin bears the label "Klaus Ludwig Clement fecit / Leipzig, anno 2024 / made in Germany / V3-4-3/4". The body measures 336mm along the back, 155mm across the upper bouts and 195mm across the lower bouts. It has a two-piece back of moderately flamed maple with narrow curl, and matching ribs and scroll. The top is of finely grained spruce which broadens towards the bouts. The varnish is an amber-brown on a gold ground, and the fittings are of ebony.
It has a warm, broad sound with an undercurrent of texture, but on the whole is unified by a smooth character, and would be well suited to someone performing at a high-school or tertiary level.
