Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Mayence about 1840. His instruments follow the Stradivari more than the German pattern ; the sound-holes are large, the varnish a red-brown colour, the head is well cut, the general workmanship good.
George Hart+
Excellent workmanship, scroll well cut. Stradivari model. The character of work is not unlike that of Bernard Fendt.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er arbeitete nach Stradivari, wurde aber von Jak. V. übertroffen.
