Second son of Charles Michel Gand, b. July 22, 1792, Paris; d. May 31, 1858, Versailles. Was a pupil of Nicolas Lupot. Succeeded to his father’s business at Versailles in 1820. His instruments are similar in work to those of Lupot, they are much liked, and always fetch a good price.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Zweiter Sohn von Charles Michel G. Gilt mit Recht für einen der besten
Schüler Lupot’s. Nachdem er bei Lupot ausgebildet war, übernahm er die Werkstatt
seines Vaters, in seiner Arbeit setzte er Lupot’s Traditionen fort und baute
viele Geigen, die jetzt sehr geschätzt werden.
