Sunburst violin with ebony chinrest, lost in Asheville

Posted on March 07, 2026

Description

I lost my sunburst violin with ebony chinrest yesterday around 3pm in downtown Asheville. I was near the Grove Arcade on Wall Street after busking for a bit, and I must have set it down while saying hi to a friend. It's a full-size violin with a bright sunburst varnish; there are a couple of small marks—a tiny dent on the scroll and a faint scratch along the lower bout. The case is a black hard-shell with red velvet lining, and there’s a faded sticker from Cameron's Music Co. on the inside lid. It’s sentimental to me—it was handed down from my grandmother—and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can meet to verify details and offer a reward.
