WHO WAS CHRISTIAN GOTTFRIED GEISLER?
According to the Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woordenboek Christian Gottfried Geisler (1801-1884) was a maker of woodwind instruments who presented in 1849 a flute in the exhibition of national industry in Delft (Cat. nr. 299) and in 1861 participated in the industrial exhibition in Haarlem (Cat. nr. 417), where he won a medal for his work as flute maker. He first appears in the adress records of Amsterdam in 1841/1842.
Some of his surviving instruments rest nowadays in the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, in the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague and in the Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Musical Instruments.
