I am an amateur violinist-violist living in Madrid and traveling in central Europe during the summer. My violin disappeared in the main train station in Montpellier, France , on 10 July , during the first days of my trip. I was careless not to keep it in sight and in hand while I studied train schedules. T his loss has been reported to the Montpellier police.
I am hoping that by circulating this notice, someone might respond with information. The violin has some unusual characteristics, apparent to even an untrained eye. It has a blond finish instead of red or brown, it has 5 strings instead of 4, and there is an electronic pickup in the bridge. The label inside shows his name and the year , I believe. In a follow-up message, or in individual emails, I could provide photos. Also lost: a black carbon-fiber bow; and an old-fashioned case with Obama and "Freiburg steht auf" stickers attached.
There was no insurance on this violin and bow. The value is not immense, but of course I would love to see them again. I can offer a small reward for helping me find them. A big "thank you" to those who circulate this notice. If someone detects this violin, please notify the police, and please send an email to Joseph: ireadpages2 yahoo.
