John Dilworth+
Johann Christian (I) Worked circa. 1690-1726, Markneukirchen Germany. Branded: ‘I. C. F.’. Printed label: J. Chr. Ficker / Geigenmacher in Neukirchen 1693
George Hart+
Said to have lived in the midst of the greatest makers the world has had ; if so, he certainly did not make himself acquainted with the art of Violin-making as understood in Cremona. His instruments may have been made at Mittenwald, and dated from Cremona.
Cecie Stainer+
Was working in Neukirchen (Saxony) 1700-22.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er kam wahrscheinlich als Exulant nach Neukirchen und wird in den
Kirchenbüchern noch 1720 und 1722, allerdings ohne Angabe seines Berufs, erwähnt, diesen nennt dagegen sein Zettel schon 1700. Seine Arbeit ist
sorgfältig, Geigen von ihm kommen noch öfter vor.
