He made many violins, on no particular model, but which are quite artistic in appearance. The tone is never so good as the workmanship. Label : —

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Als Sohn eines Farmers beschäftigte er sich im Winter mit dem Ausstopfen
von Vögeln, Schnitzen von Schnupftabaksdosen und Geigenmachen. Auf das
Letztere verlegte er sich nach dem Tode seines Vaters ganz
und gar. Seine Violinen sind hübsch gemacht, oft reich verziert,
haben aber keinen grossen Ton. 1886 erhielt er auf der
Ausstellung in Edinburg für Geigen eine ehrenvolle Erwähnung.
