A maker in Paris about 1770. He was the inventor of an “improved” lyre, of which he made several, not without merit, although very original in design.

Er wohnte im »Temple«. Seine Modelle sind gut, nur die F-Löcher etwas zu weit ausgeschnitten. Er ist u. A. der Erfinder einer verbesserten Lyra. Eine solche befindet sich in der Sammlung Sax.
