Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

NOEBE, Louis Born 1844, Worked circa. 1865-1922 Homburg vor de Höhe, Frankfurt Germany. Violinist and violin maker. Stradivari models. Decent workmanship and varnish in various appropriate colours. Developed his own ‘induction bass bar’, related to his own patented ‘System Noebe’ construction theory; a term that is found branded internally. Louis Noebe / Künst-Atelier / Homburg v.d.H. / L.N. 1880 No.39 April

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Von Hause aus Musiker, begründete er 1865 ein Geigenmachergeschäft,
das sich eines guten Rufs erfreut. Mehrere von ihm gemachte Erfindungen, so
ein »Inductionsbalken«, scheinen sich nicht dauernd bewährt zu haben.
