A maker in Milan about 1670-95. Followed the Amati pattern; his instruments are small, with well cut sound-holes and yellow varnish; they have a good tone.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Wahrscheinlich aus der Amatischule hervorgegangen, gehört er zu den besseren Mailänder Geigenmachern seiner Zeit. Er arbeitete nach einem kleinen Modell, schnitzte hübsche F-Löcher und Schnecken. Auch sein gelber Lack sowie der Ton sind
zu loben.
