Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Er hatte sein fünfzigstes Jahr bereits überschritten, als er begann, Geigen
zu machen. Er ahmte die Umrisse von Guarneri nach, nahm aber die Wölbung viel höher und verwendete meist Öllack. Im Ganzen hat er über 20 Violinen und zwei
Violoncelli selbstständig angefertigt und gilt jetzt als der beste Reparateur in ganz Schottland.
