Perfectly designed for players with shorter fingers. This extremely hard to find 7/8 size violin has a string length of 315mm and a body length of 350mm. 

Discover a century of soul in this exquisite early 1900's Klotz violin, hand-carved in Germany by master craftsmen and lovingly restored to pristine glory in New Zealand by Phil Whitehead at The String Workshop.

Its honey-colored varnish glows with warm antiquity, accentuating the dramatic flames of the two-piece maple back, sides, and neck - each curl a testament to premium European tonewoods. The finely grained spruce belly promises resonant, projecting tone that sings with depth and clarity.

Freshly equipped for modern performance: a precision Despiau bridge, vibrant Larsen Tzigane strings for flare and nuance, lightweight Wittner tailpiece, and comfortable Gewa ebony chin rest. This isn’t just an instrument - it’s a living heirloom, blending vintage warmth with flawless playability.

Whether you’re a collector seeking provenance or a player craving expressive power, this Klotz violin delivers unmatched character.  Feel history resonate under your bow!
