Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er hat viele Kits, Violinen und Violincelli gebaut und
viele seiner Arbeiten reich mit Perlmutter und Elfenbein
eingelegt. Sein Modell erinnert etwas an N. Amati, er verwandte einen dünnen, gelben Spirituslack.
William Meredith Morris+
He made kits, violins, and violoncellos. Model, N. Amati. The workmanship is fairly good, but the varnish is very inferior, hard, and of an ugly yellow colour. The tone is much better than the appearance of the instruments would lead one to expect. All his labels are handwritten on white paper : —
