Caron

Worked in Versailles, 1775-85. Was maker to the Queen. His instruments are not in any way remarkable, an alto, well made, with brown-black varnish, was labelled: " Caron, luthier de la Heine, rue Royale. a Versailles, 1777"; a similar label is dated 1775. A ten-stringed theorbo in the Paris Conservatoire Collection is dated " a Versailles, rue Satory, 1785."
