Friedrich Carl Wilhelm Lemme
Friedrich Carl Wilhelm Lemme (born September 18, 1746 in Braunschweig ; † December 27, 1815 there ) was a German piano maker and organist . He created over 1000 musical instruments and introduced several innovations.
Life
Lemme trained as a musical instrument maker from his father. Together with him, he created around 800 keyboard instruments by 1787, and he constantly worked on improving them. Lemme's inventions in clavichord construction were the use of straight keys, double soundboards and the construction of oval instruments. He defended himself against competitors who sold their work as those of Lemmes by marking his instruments with the “coat of arms of the most noble house of Braunschweig”. Lemme also worked in Braunschweig as organist at St. Katharinen from 1771 and at St. Magni from 1775 .
