Sohn von Antony P., wohl auch dessen Schüler, wie er sein Nachfolger
als Hoflautenmacher gewesen ist. Prachtvolle Arbeit, vorzüglicher, rothgelber
Lack. Sein Modell ist hochgewölbt. Er wohnte, wie sein Vater, im Kärnthnerviertel
und legte am 3. Juni 1733 den Bürgereid ab. In den Steuerbüchern kommt er bis zu seinem Tode vor.
