Cecie Stainer+

Was working in Naples in 1847. Was a good maker.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Da er sich hauptsächlich mit dem Ausbessern beschäftigte, hat er nicht allzu
viele neue Geigen gemacht. Er liebte ein grosses Modell, gelben oder rothgelben
Lack und schnitzte gute Schnecken. Einige seiner Schüler, darunter
Vinc. Postiglione, kamen zu Ansehen.
