At the Frederic Chopin Music School in Opole, Poland, two pre-war Heckel bassoons went missing during the summer holidays.

One of them has now turned up for sale online in Germany at around €40,000. It is reported that the school principal’s son received a Culture Ministry grant to restore it.

The plot thickens here (in Polish).
