Ein Maschinentechniker, der sich aus Liebhaberei mit dem Geigenmachen beschäftigte und wohl nur geringe Vorkenntnisse besass. Er strebte eine Tonverbesserung an, die ihm freilich nicht gelang, obwohl er behauptete, je nach Wunsch Stradivari- oder Guarneri-Ton (!) herstellen zu können. 1894 stellte er in Lemberg eine Viola, ein Violoncell etc. aus und hat sich hierauf ganz auf das Geigenmachen verlegt.
