Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Paris in the latter part of the 17th century. His instruments are more curiosities for collectors than of any great value. His name, encircled by a Latin motto, is often found written on the sides of his instruments, most frequently on the violoncellos.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Violen und Violinen von ihm sollen äusserst selten vorkommen, dagegen
kennt man mehrere Bässe von ihm, auf deren Zargen er seinen Namen, von
einem lateinischen Spruch umgeben, anbrachte.
