A maker in Paris, first in the rue Sainte-Marguerite-Saint-Antoine about 1760, and then in rue Tiquetonne, 1775-91. He made instruments similar to those of Guersan and Gavinies, with yellow-brown varnish.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Ein nicht ungeschickter Geigenmacher, der sich 1760 in Paris, Rue Sainte-Marguerite-Saint-Antoine niederliess und später nach der Rue Tiquetonne zog. Er arbeitete ziemlich handwerksmässig im Geschmacke der Guersan, Saint Paul und Gavinies, doch verwendete er meist gelben Öllack. Am besten sind seine Guitarren und Harfen; auch seine Bögen waren gut. Eine Pochette von ihm ist im Besitz von C. J. Read (England). Er ist der Begründer der Geigenmacherfamilie, die anderthalb Jahrhundert in Paris ansässig war.
Henri Poidras+
