Between Thursday Sept. 28 and Tuesday Oct. 3, 2000 The storage facilities of Oberloh Woodwind and Brass Works in Seattle, Washington were burglarized. Instruments stolen consisted primarily of tubas, baritone horns , Euphoniums, trombones and some soprano woodwinds. I am listing the primary instruments that no doubt will show up sooner or later. Please send this to all who may be of assistance no matter how small. If you hear of anything, please drop me a line asap. Thanks for your help and understanding.
