This violin was made in the workshop of master luthier Klaus Clement. 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 V5 has a two-piece moderately flamed maple back while the top is made from spruce. This instrument is based on a Stradivarius violin model & has ebony fittings. This violin has been lightly antiqued with a good cover of golden to red-brown varnish. Klaus Clement is particularly well-known 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 big, bright & bold sound. It has a fast response time & a well-balanced, articulate tone. This instrument is ideal for the late-intermediate to advanced musician. This instrument is currently fitted with Thomastik Vision strings to enhance the natural brightness of this violins sound.
