Sunburst violin with ebony chinrest, lost in Asheville
I lost my sunburst violin with ebony chinrest yesterday around 3pm in downtown Asheville. I was near the Grove Arcade on Wall Street after busking for a bit, and I must have set it down while saying hi to a friend.

The case is a black hard-shell with red velvet lining, and there’s a faded sticker from Cameron's Music Co. on the inside lid. It’s sentimental to me—it was handed down from my grandmother—and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can meet to verify details and offer a reward.
