Johannes Michael Willer (1753-1826) was born in Vils and settled at the latest by 1780 in Prague, where held the post of president of the guild of instrument makers. An excellent and meticulous artist, he modelled his instruments during his early period after the violins of Jakob Stainer, changing later to the Stradivari patterns.
