Violin by Johann Joseph Stadlman

Vienna, 1767

Catalopg 19. Violin – Johann Joseph Stadlmann, Wien 1768

Johann Joseph (1720-1781) was the son of Daniel Achatius Stadlmann (ca. 1680-1744), the founder of this distinguished Viennese dynasty of luthiers in the 18th C. In fact, Daniel Achatius was entrusted with the Imperial monopoly on the wood trade for the guild of luthiers, which explains why the instruments of this Family were constructed from the finest, first-choice materials.

Johann Joseph (1720-1781) war der Sohn Daniel Achatius Stadlmanns(um 1680–1744), des Gründers dieser bedeutenden Wiener Geigenbaudynastie des 18. Jahrhunderts. Daniel Achatius verfügte sogar über das Monopol des Holzhandels der Innung, weshalb seine Instrumente aus den erlesensten Klanghölzern hergestellt worden sind.
