Of Bergen. In 1862 he exhibited in London a ” Hardanger violin,” more interesting for its nationality than for its musical merit, as it was one made by the peasants in Hardanger, Norway.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er machte hübsche Hardanger-Violinen mit reichverziertem Griffbrett, die in fast allen
Museen zu finden sind, so auch im Museum des Conservatoriums in Brüssel (No. 242).
