Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Sohn des V?nceslav M. und Schüler seines Bruders Wenzel. Er arbeitete
bei Schweitzer und Zach als Gehilfe und erfreute sich später mit Recht des Rufs,
ein tüchtiger Meister zu sein. (Bei Geigen, die er selbst neu gemacht hat, fehlt
auf dem Zettel das Wort »opravil«.) Auch seine Tochter Johanna beschäftigte
sich mit dem Geigenmachen. Sein Nachfolger wurde 1888 sein ehemaliger Schüler
Pato?ka.
