Stolen!

The great Hans Gansch has had his bag of cornets stolen — so anyone offers you something for nothing in Budapest, just say no...

Gansch
 

Professor Hans Gansch has had his instruments stolen in Budapest.

Hans was playing at the Academy of Music in the city, when thieves broke into a locker and made away with his prized tools of the trade.

So if anyone knows anything, or gets a strange offer of a musical momento when you are in Budapest, please contact Hans — they even nicked his glasses!
