Cecie Stainer

A maker in Erfurt about 1720. His violins, altos, and violoncellos were of a very flat model, without linings, corner blocks, or purfling, had a powerful tone, and dark brown-amber varnish. Label: “Johann Heinrich Ruppert, anno 1719 in Erfurt,” in a viola da gamba, with neck ending in a beautifully carved female head.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff

Seine Geigen sind meist flach gewölbt, manchmal sogar zu flach, doch giebt es auch solche, die dem Stainermodell sich nähern. Die Köpfchen, die er gern am Wirbelkasten anbringt, zeigen eine geschickte Hand.
