b. 1814, Wurtemberg; d. Sept., 1895, New York. Pupil of his father, who was also a maker. Went to the United States, and settled in Massachusetts in 1846. He made excellent instruments, much used for solo playing. He made such an exact copy of the Amati violin belonging to Senior Sarasate that it was pronounced to be equal to the original.
