Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Leipzig about 1787. Was a pupil of C. H Hunger. He made good instruments, following the Cremona models, and using amber-coloured varnish, he was also very clever at repairing instruments.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Jedenfalls ein Verwandter der Dresdener Meister. Er war ein Schüler von
Hunger und ein recht tüchtiger Geigenmacher, der die Cremoneser mit Geschick
nachahmte. Auch sein bernsteinfarbiger Lack ist verhältnissmässig gut.
