 A master craftsman of horns, Carl Geyer emigrated from Germany in 1903. Working initially for the Wunderlich company of Chicago, he hand-crafted some of the finest horns made in America.
During World War I the importing of German horns was prohibited and there was great need for American-made instruments. He worked for Wunderlich until 1920 and went on to open his own workshop to meet the great demand for American-made horns.
About Geyer's horns, John Barrows remarked that "his horns embody the skill and inventiveness acquired over the years, the uncompromising integrity of workmanship, and above all, the element of concern and love that delineate the true creative genius."
