Otto Luderer
Violin maker
–
Otto Luderer's own Cleveland workshop had two lives — open from some point before the war, shut down for its duration, then reopened in 1945 and kept running until he retired in 1975 — but he arrived in America in 1910 already a trained maker, three years' apprenticeship behind him under E. Reinhold Schmidt back in his native Markneukirchen. Cleveland is where that training led him to begin with, too: he went into partnership with Oscar and Ernest Otto Schmidt at the firm they were setting up there, and stayed on as one of its working makers for well over a decade before eventually going out on his own.
