John Dilworth+

Johann Georg Worked circa. 1780-1798 Potsdam. Luthier to the Prussian Court. Fine work but undistinguished in any way. Good bows. Frog inlaid with a mother of pearl lyre. Johann Georg Paulus / Königl. Preuss. Hof-Instrumentenmacher / in Potsdam, 1795

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Wenn er auch ganz gute Geigen etc. gemacht hat, so war er doch kein hervorragender Meister, dagegen sind seine Bögen durchaus lobenswerth. Sie sind sorgfältig gemacht
und häufig am Frosch besonders verziert, z. B. durch eine Perlmutter-Lyra an beiden
Seiten.
