German flautist is robbed on train
mainDistressing news from Concerto Köln.
Flute player Cordula Breuer was robbed yesterday on a train from Cologne to Amsterdam (ICE 128), probably at Oberhausen station.
She lost a leather bag with three historic flutes, her purse, money, cards and phone (Samsung S4).
The flutes are:
– Traversflöte, Ebenholz (4teilig, 1 Klappe)
– Sopran-Blockflöte, Buchsbaum gebeizt (2teilig)
– Piccolo-Blockflöte, Buchsbaum natur (3teilig)
If you can help or have any information, please contact info@concerto-koeln.de
Two of these ‘flutes’ are recorders 😉 I hope the owner gets her stuff back.
Every recorder is a flute, but not every flute is a recorder.
Oberhausen train station is notorious for bag thieves. I almost a bag there some years ago. Travellers beware!
The Concerto Köln is doing a marvellous job in Amsterdam’s Ariodante. Let’s hope the instruments will return in good condition.
