Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Schüler von Kaspar Strnad, bei dem er 14 Jahre lang arbeitete, Bruder
von Ferd. Jos. H. in Kuttenberg und Vater von Ferd. Aug. H. Er machte sich
1821 selbstständig und war ein gediegener Meister, dessen Arbeiten jetzt sehr
gesucht sind. Er wohnte im Hause No. 64 und war mit Josepha Rou?ek verheirathet.
Seine Geigen sind sehr schön nach der Form gebaut, mittlere Wölbung, gelbbrauner
Spirituslack, manchmal auch, aber seltener, prächtiger goldgelber Öllack und ansprechender Ton. Er bevorzugte wie sein Lehrer das Stradivari-
Modell.
