Voici un tableau contenant une liste des luthiers francais ou étrangers proposant des copies de weissenborn, j'y ai inclu les adresses internet, et des exemples de modèles et de prix. La présentation de l'ensemble est pour l'instant assez anarchique puisque ce document n'était initialement destiné qu'à mon usage personnel, je tâcherai d'en améliorer la lisibilité prochainement
*tous les prix sont en euro, il ont été converti de leur unité d'origine en les arrondissant, le dollars notament ayant été converti à un taux de 1euro = 0,77$
Si vous constasté des erreurs de prix ou autres, ou si vous connaissez des luthiers proposant ce genre d'instruments qui seraient absent de cette liste, vous me rendriez service en m'en faisant part en m'écrivant ici
