Reward Offer

The person who returns this cello to us or provides us with decisive information about its current whereabouts, enabling us to successfully reclaim this cello, will be rewarded with CHF 5’000 (and the waiver of any legal action). An additional condition for claiming this reward is that the cello, upon return to us as assessed and testified by our violin maker in Zurich, still is in its original, intact condition. This reward offer is subject to Swiss substantive law. Exclusive place of jurisdiction is Zurich.

We would appreciate any help in this matter,
