I lost my black Yamaha 4/4 violin in a red-lined hard case yesterday around 5:15pm near the Topeka Public Library on Kansas Ave. The case is sturdy black with a bright red interior; the bow has a tiny blue star sticker on the tip and a faint dent near the chin rest. There’s a small label inside the lid that reads 'P. Patel' and the initials 'Yamaha' on a little pocket. This instrument is more than a hobby tool--it belonged to my grandfather and I've practiced every week for the last two years; it's really sentimental and I'm anxious to get it back. If you spotted it around downtown Topeka, especially near Kansas Ave and 10th St, please reach out at [email protected].
