“In silvis viva silui, canora jam mortua cano.
In the forest, I lived in silence; now in death I sing sweetly.

Hello, my double bass was stolen on 9th february 2016 between Frankfurt/Paris/Lyon. It was made by Bernardel/ Plumerel in 1841.
Thanks for sharing and help me to find it.


it is written on a exterior rib : “ Paris , l'an 1841, Bernardel luthier rue croix des petits champs n°23, fait pour Achille Gouffé de l'académie royale de musique”


There is a signature on the back inside of the instrument near endpin “PLUMEREL à PARIS”
There is some EUDOXA strings and plain gut strings.
Mooradian deluxe cover color grey
White Flight case (looks like a cello BAM case)


Thanks a lot
