Er wurde als »incorporierter Lauten- und Geigenmacher« am 3. Mai 1782 Bürger von Brünn und wohnte in der hinteren Rathhausgasse No. 228 (jetzt Schwertgasse No. 8), und zwar noch 1806. Das Haus gehörte ursprünglich der Wittwe des Geigenmachers Hentschl. Im Jahre 1827 ist Sebastian’s Wittwe Anna Besitzerin des Hauses. Wutzelhofer war demnach der Nachfolger Hentschl’s und vielleicht auch dessen Schüler. Er steht als tüchtiger Meister in gutem Andenken.
