Stolen instruments in El Paso, TX

ttf_Sue · Post by **ttf_Sue** » Tue Aug 16, 2016 6:58 pm

I got notice from a good friend who just moved to El Paso. Her rented U-Haul was stolen with several of her instruments inside.

1) NY Bach Bb Trumpet
2) Yamaha flugelhorn
3) Hand-made Natural Trumpet
4) A Vintage Bb Cornet (unsure of the make)
5) Shawms and Crumhorns

If any forum members see this collection for sale, please let me (and the police) know ASAP.

Nice welcome to El Paso!!

I'll pass the word to my friends there to keep an eye out.

But unfortunately, being right on the border, they're possibly over the river already, I'm sorry to say.

Any chance of her having serial numbers handy?

Eric

[Sigh] Another post to "sticky". Hope they get recovered. Let us know what happens.

I am so sorry, that's a terrible shame.
I'm in Texas now, and interesting but probably unrelated, an actual musical instrument THEFT RING just got busted in Houston: https://reverb.com/news/130-arrested-in-houston-music-gear-theft-ring

I've got an especially bad feeling about the natural trumpet, shawms and crumhorns.
