George Hart+

His instruments are little known ; they resemble those of Giuseppe Guadagnini.

Cecie Stainer+

Worked in Parma about 1730-47. His instruments are liked in Italy, the pattern is similar to that of Lorenzo Guadagnini, but the varnish is not so beautiful.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Tüchtiger Nachahmer von L. Guadagnini. Grosses Modell, gelber, gelb
brauner oder brauner Lack und
guter Ton zeichnen seine Arbeit
aus, so dass seine Violinen bereits
wiederholt den Preis von
1000 M., seine Violoncelli von
1500 M. erreichten.
