LAMBERT, JOHANN HENRY, Berlin, 1760.
LAMBERT, —— Nancy, 1760. A prolific but not very careful maker, which gained him the name of the Lute Carpenter.
LANDOLPHI, CARLO, Florence, 1750. An excellent maker, who followed the Cremona patterns with considerable success.
LANDOLPHI, FERDINAND, Milan, about same date.
There appears to be some doubt whether there was more than one Landolphi, his name being Carlo Ferdinand, but being mentioned as of both Florence and Milan, and the Christian names given separately, there may have been two. Fetis only mentions Carlo, and locates him at Milan.
LAUSA, ANTONIO MARIA, 1675. A capital imitator of Magini and Gaspar di Salo's instruments, but is said not to have succeeded in rivalling them in tone.
LAUTTEN, L. W. No particulars of this maker; but we find a violin by him in a Catalogue, described as "fine and handsome."
LECLERC, —— Paris, 18th Century.
LENTZ, JOHANN NICHOLAUS, London, about 1800. Considered a good workman.
LEWIS, EDWARD. London, about 1700. An excellent maker, used good wood, fine varnish, chiefly of a yellow colour, and was notable for his excellent finish.
