Cecie Stainer+

Was working in Venice in the 17th century.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Ich habe nur eine einzige Geige mit diesem Namen bei einem Geigenmacher gesehen. Diese war ziemlich hoch gewölbt, die Umrisse nach Amati, gutes Holz, prächtiger, goldrother Lack. Die Schnecke war weniger schön. Der Ton weich und ansprechend.

Henri Poidras+

Ordinary make. Arched model. Orange or gold-red varnish.

Karel Jalovec+

Venice. 1617. Worked on the pattern of Amati; used good wood; applied a golden-red varnish; took a rather high arching; made good scrolls and sound-holes. The instruments have a good tone.
