Found violin in burgundy case near Inner Harbour

Posted on May 14, 2026

Description

I found a violin this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Inner Harbour, tucked behind the Empress Hotel on Government Street in Victoria. It's a Yamaha 4/4 student model with a sunburst finish, light scratches along the back, and a small dent near the lower bout. The case is burgundy velvet-lined with a zipped closure. The bow has a bright blue wrap and the hair looks mildly frayed. Inside the lid there's a sticker with the initials 'MV' and a pencil note reading 'From Grandma.' The instrument seems playable, and I hope to reconnect it with its owner in Victoria soon.
