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]

gollark: Some ISPs have CGNAT, which means you don't have a single public IP address *at all*, even a dynamic one.
gollark: No, never mind, I'm reading this wrong, your thing is maybe not publicly exposed properly.
gollark: The internet connection here is extremely bad so I had to connect through my phone, which is still bad and has limited data.
