Cecie Stainer

Was a pupil of Lambert, of Nancy, the ” Carpenter,” but did superior work. Lived in Bordeaux 1754-64, according to his violin labels, but by 1770 was in Paris, living first in the rue Tiquetonne, and then (1775-83) in the rue des Prouvaires. He is best known for the beautiful guitars he made, but his violins are also good. Piete, the maker, was a pupil of his. In 1889 was exhibited in Paris a mandoline-alto dated 1780. Label: ” Saunier a Bordeaux, 1754 “

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff

Nach Fetis ein Schüler eines nicht nachweisbaren Lambert in Nancy. Von 1754—1764 war er in Bordeaux, um 1770 aber in Paris, wo er erst in der Rue Tiquetonne und von 1775—1783 in der Rue des Prouvaires wohnte. Er hat recht gute Geigen gemacht, doch ist er berühmter als Mandolinen- und Guitarrenmacher gewesen. Piete und Fourier (Nicolas) waren seine Schüler.

Henri Poidras

Bordeaux and Paris circa 1750. Good work. Yellow varnish. Flat model. Good class make of the old Mirecourt kind. Guitars and mandolines.
