Johann Joseph Stadlmann was an 18th-century Viennese maker of lutes and stringed instruments, holding the title of Imperial and Royal Court Lute and Violin Maker (Kaiserl. Königl. Hof Lauten und Geigenmacher) in Vienna [1][2]. Instruments bearing his label are documented from at least 1753 to 1767, establishing his active period across the mid-to-late 18th century [1][2]. His workshop produced instruments across the violin family, including violas and cellos [1][2]. At least one documented cello underwent restoration by J. Blais in Geneva in 1890, indicating the instruments' survival and continued circulation among professional musicians and collectors into the modern era [1].
