Maker's Stamp
Jan Jurianensz van Heerde (1638-1691) was one of the first flute makers in Amsterdam and the first of three generations of instrument makers in the Van Heerde family. According to its former owners, this recorder was brought to Krefeld, Germany (north of Cologne) around 1850 by a Dutch merchant who gave it to a German merchant in settlement for his debts.
