Biographies
John Dilworth
WIDHALM, Martin Leopold (Leopold II) Born 1747, died 1806 Nuremberg Germany. Son, pupil, and successor of Leopold Widhalm, above. Continued with his father’s label. Work in general less refined than that of his father, with higher arching and slightly uneven purfling. Scroll markedly wide across the eyes. Retained the fine varnish, although some instruments appear to have a thinner harder recipe. Branded internally, with or without double-headed eagle: ‘LW’ Leopold Widhalm Lauten- und / Geigenmacher in Nürnberg, fecit A. 1789
