Story: Albert W. Klinth was an American violin maker active during the mid-20th century, believed to have trained on the West Coast before establishing his workshop in the Midwest, possibly in Michigan. Originally a publisher by trade, Klinth transitioned into violin making and went on to build over 50 instruments, often modeled after Guarneri forms. His violins are known for their balanced proportions, clean workmanship, and tonal clarity. Crafted with subtly shaded varnish and thoughtful attention to detail, Klinth's instruments reflect a quiet dedication to the art of violin making. Though not widely known, his violins have been appreciated by players for their consistency, projection, and tonal brightness.
