Bibliographic information
| Biographical note | A native of Dresden, with a doctorate from the University of Berlin under Professor Biehle, Lottermoser joined the Physikalische-Technische Reichsanstalt (now Bundesanstalt) (PTB) working in the laboratory of Professor Grutzmacher on various problems of musical acoustics. He is a fine organist and investigated the acoustical characteristics of baroque organs, and has been involved in the design of and musical performance of new ones. A demonstration he gave CMH on one with his sister singing church music was very beautiful and moving. Many of his 100 technical papers are on the organ, but he also developed various types of test equipment for studying the acoustics of violins and made response curves of all quality instruments. Lottermoser and CMH worked together on several test violins in an effort to correlate test methods and results (see CASNL). He also made a study of tree ring analysis of violin tops as a method of authenticating instruments. Lottermoser retired from the PTB in 1972 leaving his long-time associate Jurgen Meyer to continue his work. |
