What the books printed

Dictionary of Violin makers, Arnold Sewell. 1928. Page 167, scan 239.

OTTO (Karl-August-Ludwigslust) — 1801-1883. This maker has been very inconsistent in his work, the only instruments which may retain attention being those made towards 1840. Generally speaking, his varnish is not interesting.
