I found a violin this afternoon around 3:25pm on the sidewalk in front of Munro's Books on Government Street in Victoria. It's a brown violin with a warm amber varnish, a few small scratches near the tailpiece, and a blue ribbon tied to the scroll. The black case is a bit scuffed, and the bow sits inside with a worn-looking horsehair. There's a small maple-leaf sticker on the case lid for a simple identifier. I’m keeping it safe for now and really hope to reunite it with its owner—this instrument likely means a lot to someone who plays. If this is yours, please reach out so I can hand it back.
