Vielleicht ein Sohn oder Bruder von Jean T. Er bevorzugte eine hohe Wölbung und gelben Lack und machte sowohl Geigen als Lauten. Eine fünfsaitige Bratsche befindet sich aus der Snoeck’schen Sammlung in Berlin, eine Laute im Conservatorium in Brüssel. Ausser seinem Zettel verwendete er auch eine Brandmarke.
