Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

Martin Worked circa. 1720-1730, Hamburg Germany. Bass viol dated 1726 in ex-Victoria and Albert Museum collection, London (now in Hormiman Museum). Back and sides with ebony and ivory stringing. Highly ornate ivory inlays on head, tailpiece, and fingerboard. [Baines]

Cecie Stainer+

Was working in Hamburg in 1726. His work is similar to that of Tielke. A bass-viol, the back inlaid in ivory, having Apollo, Venus, Mercury, and Diana represented, was dated Hamburg, 1726, and was exhibited at the South Kensington Museum, London, 1872.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Vielleicht ein Schüler von J. Tielke, in dessen Stil er arbeitete. Ich kenne von ihm nur eine reich mit Elfenbein eingelegte Viola da Gamba, die 1872 im S. Kens.-Mus. in London ausgestellt war, und die noch dadurch auffiel, dass auf dem Boden Apollo, Venus, Merkur und Diana abgebildet erschienen.
