John Dilworth+

Christian Worked circa. 1675 Prague Czech Republic, 1706-1714 Augsburg & Nuremberg Germany. Maker of lutes and theorbos. Henley cites violins on Amati or Stainer model: very high arching, coarse workmanship, and brown varnish. Presently unknown. Christian Roth, Violin und / Lautenmacher aus Prag. Ao 1701

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Es giebt Lauten und Theorben mit seinem Namen. Hart, Sandys und Forster erwähnen ihn, doch war es mir nicht möglich, in Augsburg etwas über ihn zu finden. Ebenso unbekannt ist er in Prag. Er war jedenfalls ein vogtländischer, wahrscheinlich (Mark)Neukirchener Geigenmacher, der von Markt zu Markt zog.
