Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

Heinrich, b. Markneukirchen, Worked Berlin & Moscow Russia. Violin and bow maker. Employed at the Löwendall factory in Berlin, established independently there 1873-1885. Later moved to Moscow to work for Zimmermann and Kittel. Commercial trade quality violins, and fine bows.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Schüler von seinem Oheim Christian Knopf. Er hat im Ganzen nur etwa
30 Geigen gemacht, sich frühzeitig fast ausschliesslich auf die Bogenmacherei
verlegt und brachte es darin zu besonderer Meisterschaft. Er arbeitete zunächst
für Otto Bausch, Grimm, Kittel & Weichold und siedelte 1868 nach Berlin über.
Von da an brannte er auch seinen Namen in seine Bögen ein.
