MUSICIAN REUNITED WITH £300,000 VIOLIN LOST IN NYC CAB

IT WAS ONLY AFTER TAKING A SHOWER IN HIS CHINATOWN APARTMENT THAT, HAHN-BIN, THE AMAZING 22 YEAR OLD SOUTH KOREAN-BORN VIOLIN VIRTUOSO, REALIZED HE FORGOT HIS 18th CENTURY VIOLIN MADE BY GIOVANNI FRANCESCO PRESSENDA, VALUED AT £300,000, IN A YELLOW CAB ON HIS WAY BACK FROM A LONG ISLAND CONCERT, WITH FAMED VIOLINIST ITZHAK PERLMAN, ON MONDAY. IT WAS AFTER CALLING THE CITY'S TAXI AUTHORITIES AND THE POLICE THAT THE TAXI DISPATCHER TRACKED DOWN THE TAXI. OVERNIGHT RECORDS REVEALED THAT HAHN-BIN HAD BEEN DROPPED OFF BY DALBIR SINGH, BEFORE THE DRIVER HAD FINISHED HIS SHIFT AND DROVE BACK HOME TO NEW JERSEY, WHERE THE VIOLIN WAS SAFELY WAITING. THE INSTRUMENT COULD BE FOUND ONLY BECAUSE OF GPS TRACKERS FITTED IN ALL YELLOW CABS. "LOSING AN INSTRUMENT IS A GREATEST FER, EVEN MORE THAN MAKING A MISTAKE ON STAGE", HAHN-BIN WAS QUOTED AS SAYING.
