Talk:Lauterbach Stradivarius

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


My name is John A. Thornton, and I am the person who initiated the webpage on the "Lauterbach" Stradivarius violin, made by Antonio Stradivari anno 1719, Cremona, Italy. Much controversy has arisen over this instrument since it was (possibly) re-discovered and purchased by me, December 30, 2004.

As a serious minded connoisseur, I have diligently inquired of every source where valid information might be deemed available: The first being a professor of music, Berlin University, where he discovered (and made photographic copies of) valid Nazi period resources in the library of this institution: The second being the archives held at Frankfurt University, which contain several photographs of Johann Christophe Lauterbach. Lastly, I acquired a true copy of the OMGUS microfilm document #M1949, from the National Military Archives (claim order PO52) submitted by the Polish government.
