John Dilworth+
Friedrich August Born 1817, died 1894 Klingenthal. Prolific maker on a wide range of grades from decent hand-finished work to rather crude commercial productions.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Ein sehr talentvoller und geschickter Geigenmacher. Leider war auch er
gezwungen, seine beste Zeit im Dienste der Händler zu verbringen, und später
hinderte ihn andauernde Kränklichkeit, sein ganzes Können einzusetzen. Es
giebt jedoch einige recht gute Violinen von ihm, und nur diese tragen seinen Namen.
