John Dilworth+

TENTZEL (DENZEL), Johann Worked circa. 1715-1730 Mittenwald Germany. Klotz model. Fine workmanship. Good golden-brown varnish. Fine materials. Cellos and lutes also recorded. Joh. Tentzel. Lautenmacher / in Mittenwald, fecit 1723

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er wird in den Acten als Lautenmacher bezeichnet und nennt sich auch selbst so. Seine Geigen sehen den Klotz’schen sehr ähnlich, so dass er als directer Klotz-Schüler betrachtet werden kann. Auch er soll jedoch in die meisten seiner Arbeiten Stainer’s Namen geklebt haben.

Henri Poidras+

Lutes and violins. Klotz style.
