Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

sehr viel Geigen nach Stradivari gebaut, ist ein vorzüglicher Geiger und Violinlehrer und auch sonst sehr musikalisch.

William Meredith Morris+

He said that he made about a thousand instruments of every description. His model approximated to that of Stradivari, early period. The varnish is an oil one of an indifferent quality, in various colours. The tone is moderately powerful, but rather harsh in the two or three specimens seen by me. Label : —
