I found a full-size violin in a black soft-case this morning around 10:15am near the Market Street pedestrian bridge at Riverside Park along the La Crosse River. The violin has a warm amber finish with a few light scratches along the chin rest and a tiny scuff on the back. The bow hair looks good, but the frog has a bright blue ribbon tied around it, and there's a small sticker inside the lid—a cartoon sailboat with the name Maya written underneath. The case is a bit scuffed on the outside but all latches work. It feels like this instrument matters to someone who probably had a rehearsal or lesson—hope to get it back to its owner.
