20One of the best imitators of Stainer. The wood is frequently handsome, the work finished with care. Varnish, although wanting the delicacy of that of Stainer, is generally of good quality; its colour is mostly pale red. Nearly all his instruments are branded with the initials inside. His name has frequently been spelt Withalm.
22WITTING, J. G., Mittenwald, about 1775.
23WYEMANN, Cornelius, Amsterdam, 18th century.

26Neat work, good wood, varnish of the character of that seen on the instruments of Kloz.
28¹ About thirty makers named Voigt or Voight hail from Germany, some contemporary and others dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Their work is not of sufficient importance to require special notice.—EDITORS.
