Default Looking for information about Jakob Feith
Hi, I am new here and I want to ask the following question:

Is there anybody out there who have information about Jakob Feith? He was the father of ChenDurijang (พระเจนดุริยางค์) the composer of the thai anthem.
He was a born German who migrated to the USA in the mid of the 19th century. Later he travelled to asia and arrived in Bangkok around 1867 where he starts to work at the kings court as a musician. He teached the thai people western instruments and music.

Sadly I couldn't find to much information about him. There are some about his son. Maybe there are still descendants living.....

Would be great to hear something!

Greetings from Germany
Rainer
