Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Sohn von Johann Christian II. K. Schüler von Hammig in Dresden, übernahm
1879 das Geschäft H. Eckart’s in Mannheim und ist jetzt dort Hofinstrumentenmacher.
In Bezug auf Arbeit und Holz verdient er Lob. Sein Lack
ist nicht schlecht, nur beizt er untenher seine Geigen und hat dies früher etwas
zu reichlich.
