KLEYNMAN, Cornelius Born 1626, died 1686 Amsterdam Netherlands Step-son and probable pupil of Franciscus Lupo, cittern maker.

Er war wie fast alle seine holländischen Zeitgenossen ein Nachahmer der Amati. Eine Geige und zwei Gamben von ihm führt das Verzeichniss der 1759 versteigerten
Sammlung des verstorbenen Musikallenhändlers Nikolaus Selhof auf, dort erscheint der Name auch Cleinmann geschrieben.
