Johann Christian Süss
Bow maker
(1829 – 1900)
(fresh wording): Johann Christian Süss (b.1829), working between Dresden and Markneukirchen, was regarded as one of the finest makers of the German school — sometimes called the "German Tourte" — and trained as a pupil of a maker named Knopf in Dresden (the exact individual is not specified closely enough in the source to identify with confidence among several Knopf-family makers active there). He built on Tourte and Voirin models, with sticks characteristically stained a dark red, and his bows were also sold under the Weichold brand.
