MALDONER, Johann Stephan Worked circa. 1750-1799 Füssen, Bavaria Germany. Coarse ugly work, although with delicate scroll. Plain materials and ordinary brown varnish. Cellos, double basses, and viols generally more successful than violins. Joann. Stephanus Maldoner / fecit Füssen 17..
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Füssen, Bavaria, about 1760.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Da seine Geigen mehr an die Mittenwalder wie an die Füssener Schule erinnern,
dürfte er ein Eingewanderter gewesen sein. Seine Arbeit ist übrigens
oft handwerksmässig, das Holz ohne Sorgfalt gewählt und jetzt meist vom
Wurm zerfressen. Er machte hauptsächlich Violoncelli und Bässe. Es giebt aber auch Instrumente von sehr vortheilhaftem Äussern und gutem Ton von ihm.
