John Dilworth+
BERGONZI, Carlo (II) Born 1757, died 1836 Cremona Italy. Younger son of Zosimo Bergonzi, below; brother of Nicola, below. Very rarely encountered maker. One guitar dated 1821 in the Museo Stradivariano, Cremona. Earliest violin dated 1780. Usually widely-set soundholes and slightly pointed corners; otherwise broadly similar to the work of his brother. Possibly took over the workshop on Nicola’s retirement in 1804. [Gindin]
George Hart+
Son of Michel Angelo. He made a few Violins, but chiefly Guitars and Mandolins.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Dritter Sohn von Michel Angiolo B. Er
soll ein geschickter Reparateur gewesen sein und
war hauptsächlich Mandolinen- und Guitarrenmacher.
Die wenigen Geigen, die er gebaut
hat, sind minderwerthig, unfein in der Form und
