Biographies
The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
Cecie Stainer+
Brother of Jean Louvet; also worked in Paris about 1740-85. He chiefly made harps, which he signed “P. Louvet a Paris”; but a five-stringed viol is known, and two hurdy-gurdys, one, dated 1750, is prettily ornamented, the other is in the Paris Conservatoire Collection and has this label: “Fait par P. Louvet, rue Montmartre a Paris, a la Vielle Royale, juin, 1747.” He later moved to the rue St.-Denis, and was still there in 1783.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er wohnte nach einander in der Rue Montmartre, Rue Pastourelle und
zuletzt in der Rue Saint-Martin. Er machte gute Violen, Guitarren, Harfen und Leiern, ohne gerade Hervorragendes zu leisten. Schon 1742 war er geschworener Zunftmeister. Eine Leier von ihm ist im Museum zu Gothenburg und eine ebensolche
im Museum des Pariser Conservatoriums. Seine Leiern sind oft zierlich in der Form und mit ansprechenden Malereien versehen.
