John Dilworth+

LE LIÈVRE, J. C. Pierre b. Mirecourt, Worked circa. 1754-1780 Paris France. Pupil of Grosset. Germanic appearance with high arch, deep fluting, and clear yellow varnish. Made all sorts of instruments. Le Lièvre, rue des Noniandières à Paris. 1754.

Cecie Stainer+

A maker in Paris about 1750-80. Label in a violin, fairly well made, with yellow varnish : ” Le Lievre rue des Noniandieres a Paris, 1754″

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Wahrscheinlich aus Mirecourt und ein Schüler von Grosset, den er nachahmte. Er wohnte in der Rue des Nonaindières und war als Geigenmacher nicht hervorragend; weder sein Modell noch sein gelber Lack sind sonderlich ansprechend; dagegen waren seine Sackpfeifen berühmt.
