Lost & found string instruments in Roanoke

Found violins near Roanoke City Market

I'm Sarah Lee. I was walking along the Roanoke River Greenway toward the Roanoke City Market yesterday around 3:40 p.m. when I spotted a soft black violin case and a lighter wooden case behind a bench near the market's entrance on Market Street. Inside were two violins and two bows, a bit dusty but in good condition. It felt like a musician had left them in a hurry, and I wanted to do the right thing, so I brought them here and kept them safe until this post. I know how important those instruments can be to someone who plays at the Friday night jams here in Roanoke, and I hope they’re reunited with their owner soon.
