John Dilworth+
Johann Georg Born 1739, died 1824. Regarded as the best maker of the family. Admitted as a master of the violin maker’s guild 1760. Very clean work. Various classical models including double-purfled Maggini copies. Yellow-brown varnish. Johann Georg Lippold / musikalischer Instrumentenmacher / Neukirchen bey Adorf 1807
Cecie Stainer+
b. 1739. d. 1824 ; made fairly good instruments ; used yellow-brown varnish.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er wird ausdrücklich als Geigenmacherssohn bezeichnet — sein Vater dürfte
Wolf Erhardt L. gewesen sein — und war der beste Meister aus seiner Familie.
Seine Violinen zeigen gute Arbeit, und wenn sie auch in den Umrissen etc.
denen seiner vogtländer Zeitgenossen ähnlich sind, so ist doch ihr gelbbrauner
Lack wesentlich besser, so dass es nahe liegt, anzunehmen, dass er auch einige Zeit anderswo gearbeitet hat. Er wurde 1760 Meister und starb in einem Alter von 85 Jahren 5 Monaten und 17 Tagen.
