Black KORG microKORG found near Paramount Theater
I found a black KORG microKORG synthesizer this afternoon around 3pm in front of the Paramount Theater on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall.

It sat next to a mint-green tote bag and a crumpled sheet of guitar picks, and there was a faint smell of coffee in the air. If this is yours, I'd love to get it back to you—happy to meet somewhere convenient in Charlottesville to hand it over.

Inside the case there's a USB-C to USB-A adapter and a little card with an unreadable filename. I'm hoping to reunite it with its owner; this looks like important personal media or school work. If you recognize the sticker or the initials, share a clue to verify ownership.
Blue Yamaha metronome in black pouch
