David Lopez Ibanez, a classical violinist, is devastated after his 284-year-old Lorenzo Carcassi violin was stolen during dinner at a pub in north London. The violin, worth a six-figure sum, was loaned to him to enhance his career. Ibanez described his experience as traumatic, expressing that the loss feels like losing an old friend. He emphasized the deep personal bond he developed with the instrument through years of performances. The local police are investigating the theft, reviewing CCTV footage, but due to the violin's unique history, selling it would be challenging for any thief.
Losing my violin felt like a bereavement of an old friend; each performance deepens the connection and self-expression with the instrument I've cherished.
When the thief snatched it, I felt my life was torn apart, leaving my heart racing, as nothing can prepare you for such a loss.
