Was working in Paris in rue St.-Honore in 1647, is therefore one of the oldest makers there of whom anything definite is known. In a small violin or “kit,” fairly well made, is the label : ” Pierre Leduc a Paris rue Saint-Honore au Duc d’ore, 1647.”

Sein Ladenschild in der Rue Saint-Honoré lautete: Au Duc Dore«. (Nach Andern »au chat doré«) Eine hübsche Pochette von ihm befand sich in der Sammlung Loup.
