Cecie Stainer+

Maker of viols and violins in London in the 17th century. Some instruments are well made, not much arched, with dark varnish, the wood of good quality.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Man kennt Violen und Violinen von ihm, die durch ihr flaches Modell und ihren schönen, dicken Lack, der freilich häufig zu dunkel ist, bemerkenswerth sind. Sowohl in der Arbeit wie im Holz sind seine Instrumente gut.
