Klaus Clement V6 30 Year Anniversary Series Strad Model Violin

In 2021 The Sydney String Centre will be celebrating its 30th Year and to mark the occasion we have teamed up with Klaus Clement to produce a range limited run of anniversary violins. We have been friends with Klaus Clement from the very early days of our business and to help us celebrate he has produced a limited run of anniversary edition V6 violins distinctly marked with the Sydney String Centre logo in a wax seal on the back of the scroll.

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 & Bow Makers. This instrument comes with a certificate, declaration of materials and photos from the maker.

The V6 has a one-piece well-flamed maple back while the top is made from spruce. This violin has been antiqued with a good cover of golden to red-brown varnish. Klaus Clement is well-known in particular for his varnishing. The formula he uses is constantly changing & improving as he investigates the effect of the varnish on the sound of his instruments.

Overall this violin has a bright & articulate sound. It has great projection with a focused, clear & clean tone. This instrument is ideal for early-tertiary level study and the advanced musician. This instrument is currently fitted with Larsen Il Cannone Med strings to enhance the natural brightness of this violins sound.

Please contact us if you would like to book an appointment to try this beautiful instrument.

WHAT MAKES THE CLEMENT V6 DIFFERENT TO THE CLEMENT V5?

+ Higher quality of timber (seen in the higher flame on the back, sides, neck & scroll)
+ A brighter sound with greater projection due to the higher grade of timber & varnishing
