Lost & found string instruments in South Dakota

Amber-finish violin with dented back and blue bow

I lost my amber-finish handmade violin yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park in Sioux Falls, along N Phillips Ave by the SculptureWalk entrance. It's a spruce-top violin with a maple back and ebony fittings, finished in a warm amber varnish that catches the light. There’s a small dent on the lower bout and a faint scratch along the scroll, and the bow has a bright blue grip. The case is a well-worn brown tweed zipper case, and inside the lid there’s a tiny sticker with my initials 'A.P.' on it. This violin means a lot to me—it was a gift from my late mentor and I really need it back to keep practicing. If someone found it, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup downtown.
