Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Vielleicht ein Sohn von Gaetano P. Seine Geigen sind recht gut, haben
ein flaches Modell und edlen Ton. Er ahmte auch die Modelle von Amati und
Maggini nach.
Cecie Stainer+
Makers in Brescia about 1700-30. They are said to have followed the Amati instead of the Maggini pattern, traditional in Brescia. They were probably pupils of G. B. Rogeri. Their instruments have not a good tone, the varnish is brown colour.
