Stolen Preservation Hall Jazz Band Tuba Has Been Returned
It's been slightly damaged and the iconic lettering that adorned its bell has been removed but the tuba is back. A few weeks ago we told you the story of how the iconic instrument associated with New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band had been pilfered.
Thanks to an anonymous tip the musical instrument has been located and returned to Ben Jaffe. He reported the news on his Instagram account.
That was certainly good news for the band and for lovers of traditional New Orleans Jazz. I must admit I felt personally sad and disappointed that someone could be so hard-hearted that they would attempt to steal an icon of the city.
Jaffe says the instrument was damaged during its time away from the band but there isn't anything that a little "tender loving repair" can't fix. It's unclear if the telephone tip line that was set up by the band was where the anonymous tip came from or not. So far no charges have been filed in the case.
