1/1 Dutch Violin by Matthieu Besseling and bow in a square case

Stolen: 01 Jul 2021 - Underneath the Couch Prinsengracht 172 in Amsterdam

My case with my violin and two bows was stolen from my house in Amsterdam in the summer of 2021. Unfortunately I didn't play it anymore and hadn't done so for a couple of years, so I didn't notice it had been stolen before now. The house was surrounded by scaffolding at that time for a summer and we left for holiday for two weeks, so our house on the 2nd floor was more easily accessible than usually. I kept the violin close, in the hope that I would start playing again some day, which had brought me so much joy at one point in my life. It was hidden underneath the couch in the living room. I played since I was three years old, and did so till I was 24. My parents gifted me my very first and what was to be my last violin. In the hope someone finds and reports my beautiful instrument stolen. Janine
