Biographies

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

Cecie Stainer+

Worked in Paris, 1760-80, in connection with the ” Quinze-Vingt,” thereby enjoying various privileges, such as not having to pay certain taxes, &c. Besides making new instruments, he was a clever repairer of old.
and in a violin, “J. N. Leclerc, luthier aux quinze vingt a Paris, 1770.”
Other labels are known dated 1761, 1768, and 1777.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er wohnte in einem der privilegirten Hauser von »Quinze Vingts«; sonst
ist so wenig über ihn bekannt, dass die Annahme gerechtfertigt erscheint, dass
er hauptsächlich Händler und Reparateur war. Mir sind auch meist nur Bässe
