A documentation of the complete catalogue raisonné on which Michael A. Baumgartner has been working meticulously for many decades, would not be possible without the fundamental support of many people. The same applies to the new photographic documentation of the instruments, which were photographed in high resolution and printed in various 1:1 representations. We would like to thank the following people and companies for their support:
