Marion Ralincourt, solo flute of Quintette Aquilon and Les Siècles, reports the theft of ten flutes from her house at  Fontainebleau.

She has posted the following appeal, with serial numbers of the instruments.

Please share.

Chers tous,

Avec une immense tristesse et un profond sentiment d’injustice, je viens enrichir le flux déjà bien conséquent des listes d’instruments volés.
Ici 10 flûtes aimées, chéries et choyées, ayant récemment participé à de grands et beaux concerts…
Faites circuler si vous le pouvez, surtout aux personnes susceptibles de voir passer ces instruments qui seront probablement revendus pour rien du tout.
Chaque œil ouvert en plus des deux miens sera une petite chance supplémentaire d’en récupérer une peut-être…

    V. Lind’s internet is down, so I will post for him. “When will musicians learn to not have musical instruments in their homes? These stories just do not stop. We all have stressors, pressures, and perfume-testers, but we soldier on. To have not one, not two, but ten musical instruments in a musician’s home is unimaginable. I’m a sympathetic individual, but such recklessness in unforgivable.”

    All these terrible stories sound as if a performance with a really hughe number of players is going to take place somewhere.

    Instruments were reclaimed later in November, arrests made! https://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2016/11/29/03006-20161129ARTFIG00234-la-virtuose-marion-ralincourt-a-retrouve-ses-dix-flutes-volees.php
    Per earlier in this comment thread: the idea that working musicians don’t keep their musical instruments at home as somehow suggested earlier in the comment thread: ludicrous. And that person is clearly ignorant on aspects of a working musician’s life and equipment needs.
