I lost my 4/4 violin—a Stentor Student II with natural varnish—yesterday around 3pm outside Steam & Bean on Main Street in downtown Merced. The case is a black hard shell with a red lining, and the bow is light brown wood with hair that’s still tight. There’s a tiny dent near the tailpiece, and inside the lid I tucked a heart-shaped sticker with my initials 'PP' for easy recognition. This violin has sentimental value; it’s been with me through countless practices and a recital prep that meant a lot to me. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'll come pick it up or meet somewhere safe as soon as I can.
