The Kloo violin opus 66 is now for sale at MyLuthier in London: www.myluthier.co
The price is £12,000
This violin is modelled after Stradivari instruments like the “Dolphin” of 1716, though it has birdseye maple back, sides and neck, which I don’t think Stradivari ever used.
Its voice is powerful with a broad sound palette, both profound and brilliant, and both open and singable/malleable, with a lot of carrying power.
It’s a great soloist violin but can also be a fantastic for chamber music because it’s very sensitive and responsive with great dynamics.
Here is a video about opus 66 with a sound sample played by Lelie Cristea from Cologne:
