Worked at Nancy and Paris, 1620-1630. Received initial training from his father. Sent to Cremona to study with Amati. Subsequently attached himself to reproducing the principal traits of that master. Instruments denote his character, earnest, energetic, and indefatigable to produce delicate and refined workmanship. Made some cellos which are now much sought for by French soloists。
