Hey there, I lost my sunburst violin with bow yesterday around 3pm near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street. It's a full-size instrument, spruce top with a warm amber sunburst finish, and there's a noticeable scratch along the lower bout from a rehearsal last week. The case is a black hard-shell with red velvet lining, and the bow has an ebony grip with a white horsehair ribbon; inside the lid there's a tiny cat sticker. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandfather, so it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please reach out—I'll offer a small reward and am incredibly grateful to get it back in the Utica-Rome-Oneida area.
