Lost silver Yamaha flute with blue case
I lost my silver Yamaha student flute yesterday around 3pm in front of the Lied Center for the Performing Arts, near 12th and O Streets in Lincoln. It’s a compact wind instrument, about 26 inches long, with a few light scratches along the foot joint and a tiny dent near the head joint. It lives in a blue hard case with a black zipper, and I tied a small red ribbon to the handle so I’d notice it. Inside, the lining is blue. There are engraved initials 'AP' on the lip plate and on the lid of the case. It’s sentimental—it was a gift from my grandmother—and I really need it back. If you found it, a quick message would mean the world to me.
