By way of perspective, in his time Carl Geyer was famous for his horns,
their sound and how they played, not their layout. He was also a repairman
for horns and other brass instruments. For example, he worked on Arnold
Jacob's tubas.
Did I know him personally? Did he make horns for me and friends of mine
(including people on this list)? Of course.
