John Dilworth
CASTRO Worked circa. 1684 Venice Italy. Cellos and basses well-reported, Stradivari model violin dated 1684 extant according to Vannes. Work presently unknown. [Vannes]
George Hart
The wood is of good figure generally. The outline is defective ; the middle bouts are too long to be proportionate. Soundhole roughly worked. Varnish red, the quality of which is scarcely up to the Venetian standard.
Cecie Stainer
Worked in Venice, 1680-1720. His instruments are not liked ; though the wood is carefully selected, the pattern is bad, the sound-holes roughly worked, and the red varnish of poor quality.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff
Er hatte meist nur ein schlechtes Modell, nahm aber doch gutes Holz; im
Übrigen ist seine Arbeit handwerksmässig, die F-Löcher hässlich in der Zeichnung
und roh geschnitten, der Lack von rother Farbe, aber sehr armselig.
Einzelne Geigen hat er nach Stradivari gebaut.
