LOST

Sunburst violin with bow, top-edge chip

Posted on February 21, 2026

Description

I was practicing at the Lafayette Library and Learning Center yesterday around 3pm when I realized my sunburst violin was gone from the case. It's a Yamaha 4/4 student violin in a sunburst finish, with a faint dent on the top edge and a tiny scuff along the scroll. The bow is a bit frayed and the case is black with a worn zipper, and inside the lid there's blue velvet lining and a sticker with my initials 'MC'. This violin means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandfather and it helps me unwind after rehearsals. If anyone found it, please drop me a line; I really need it back, it was last seen near the library steps on Golden Gate Way in Lafayette.
