    Luby (Schonbach), worked 1820–1867

    HOYER, Franz b. Luby (Schönbach) Czech Republic, Worked circa. 1820-1867 Vienna Austria. Instruments dated up to 1845 are of decent hand-made quality, but thereafter, as Gebrüder Hoyer in association with his brother, deteriorated into repetitive student grade commercial work with steam-bent plates. — John Dilworth
