Martin Tieffenbrunner
b. 1687
after 1735. Vannes gives the opinion that his father Joachim Tieffenbrunner was also a luthier, though no evidence survives. Probably a pupil of Mathias Klotz. Several violas and at least one violin of 1718 recorded. Very Klotz-like in style but no outstanding achievements in workmanship. Martin Die\u{2026} — John Dilworth

Angeblich Sohn des Joachim T. (dessen Beruf nicht feststeht). Sein Taufpathe war (6. Nov. 1687) Math. Klotz, und er durfte auch dessen Schüler gewesen sein. Sichere Arbeiten von ihm habe ich nicht kennen gelernt. Eine ihm zugeschriebene Viola war recht gut, doch fehlte ihr die alte Schnecke, und da sie auch neu lackirt war, kann sie zur Beurtheilung nicht gut herangezogen werden. Martin T. darf als der erste Geigenmacher der Familie gelten.
