Er erscheint in den Innungsbuchern zuerst 1729 als Meister und galt neben
Caspar Hopf als der beste Geigenmacher Klingenthals. Er scheint auch in Nürnberg gearbeitet zu haben, vielleicht hat er die dortigen Märkte besucht. Übrigens war er auch ein tüchtiger Musiker und bekleidete seit 1776 die Stelle eines Organisten
in seiner Heimathsgemeinde.
