Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Sechster Sohn von Benj. B. (I), bei dem er auch gelernt hat. Er verlegte
sich in der Folge mehr auf das Repariren von Pianofortes und war ein gesuchter
Klavierstimmer. Er blieb aber dabei Theilhaber seines Bruders und hat wohl
auch an verschiedenen Instrumenten, die aus der gemeinsamen Werkstatt hervorgingen,
mitgearbeitet.
