Kathleen Schlesinger
Kathleen Schlesinger (1862, in Holywood, Ireland – 1953, in London) was a British music archaeologist and curator of musical instruments at the British Museum.[1] She specialized in the history of musical instruments and was called in 1911 "the greatest authority on the subject".[2] In 1939, her Greek Aulos presented her analysis of the modes used on aulos instruments in ancient Greek music.
She was editor of The Portfolio of Musical Archaeology. She was responsible for "practically all of the articles" about musical instruments in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1911.[2]

Notes
gollark: I run a bunch of containers exclusively under Linux. It works, I guess.
gollark: Why are you worried about containers working in production, exactly?
gollark: I do mostly tend to release code for my stuff, except it's basically entirely useless.
gollark: I mean, you could edit the license a bit, or just stick in a polite request to tell you about what projects are made with it.
gollark: ... is that actually a problem?
