    1. Louvet, Jean, brother of Pierre Louvet. He worked in Paris about 1730-60. His violins were not well made; they were varnished brown. He chiefly made hurdy-gurdys and harps, and was one of the first to make pedal-harps. In the Paris Conservatoire Collection are two hurdy-gurdys, one dated 1733, made by Louvet, rue Grenier St.-Lazare; the other with the label: "Fait par Jean Louvet rue de la Croix-des-petits-Champs, près la porte St.-Honoré, Paris, 1750." In an alto was the label: "Louvet à la Vielle Royale rue Croix-des-petits-Champs à côté de la Porte Saint-Honoré à Paris, 1755"; a similar label in a hurdy-gurdy was dated 1757.
    2. Louvet, Pierre, brother of Jean Louvet; also worked in Paris about 1740-85. He chiefly made harps, which he signed "P. Louvet à Paris"; but a five-stringed viol is known, and two hurdy-gurdys, one, dated 1750, is prettily ornamented, the other is in the Paris Conservatoire Collection and has this label: "Fait par P. Louvet, rue Montmartre à Paris, à la Vielle Royale, juin, 1747." He later moved to the rue St.-Denis, and was still there in 1783.
    3. Ludici (Ludge), Geronimo Pietro. An amateur maker, working in Conegliano in 1709. Label: "Hieronymus Petrus de Ludice anima causa faciebat Conegliani, A.D. 1709."
    4. Lugloni, Giuseppe. A maker in Venice in 1777.
    5. Lupo, Pietro, of Antwerp. In 1559 he is said to have sold to a musician sent by the town of Utrecht, "five violins enclosed in their case," for the sum of £72. The services of a professional player were called in, so that the quality of tone of the instruments might be fairly judged, before the sale was concluded, and for this and for the wine drunk on the occasion £6 more were paid.
    6. Lupot, François, son of Laurent Lupot; b. 1736, Plombières; d. 1804, Paris. First worked with his father at Lunéville (1751-56), was appointed Court maker by the Duke of Württemberg, and for ten years (1758-68) lived and worked at Stuttgart. A document is still extant, signed by Jomelli, Director of Music to the Duke, attesting to François having satisfactorily fulfilled his duties for ten consecutive years up to the date at which he was leaving—June 16, 1768. He then moved to Orléans, rue Sainte-Catherine, probably to join his father; but in 1794 went to Paris with his son Nicolas and remained there till his death. His work shows great ability and is superior to that of Laurent and Jean Lupot; he was certainly one of the best French makers of his time, and is said to have been a pupil of Giuseppe Guarneri. He made

Record note

Not established: that is this record’s honest state, resting on one thing alone — A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1896); Dictionary of Violin makers (1928), naming this maker and nothing more. Entries from 3 books stand under this name, and the software judged them likely the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond what is printed there has been invented here. If more can be said, write in and tell us.
