Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er stammte aus Aix, wie sein Zettel vermuthen lässt, den eine gute und
originelle Harfenguitarre der Sammlung Gautier in Nizza tragt. Seine Geigen
erinnern an die Mirecourter Schule, etwa an Nicolas, haben gelben Lack, sind aber sehr dem Wurmfrass ausgesetzt und daher durchwegs schlecht erhalten.
