Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Paris about 1750-80. Label in a violin, fairly well made, with yellow varnish : ” Le Lievre rue des Noniandieres a Paris, 1754″
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Wahrscheinlich aus Mirecourt und ein Schüler von Grosset, den er nachahmte. Er wohnte in der Rue des Nonaindières und war als Geigenmacher nicht hervorragend; weder sein Modell noch sein gelber Lack sind sonderlich ansprechend; dagegen waren seine Sackpfeifen berühmt.
