Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Angeblich ein Schüler von Montagnana. Es gelang mir jedoch nicht,
irgend eine glaubwürdige Arbeit von ihm zu erfragen; auch der Zettel mit
seinem Namen, den ich zu sehen bekam, war eine durch Steindruck hergestellte
Fälschung. Auffällig ist ferner, dass die im Handel vorkommenden , ihm zugeschriebenen
Geigen fast immer die Jahreszahl 1735 tragen.
