Found violin in burgundy case near Inner Harbour
I found a violin this afternoon around 4:15pm near the Inner Harbour, tucked behind the Empress Hotel on Government Street in Victoria. It's a Yamaha 4/4 student model with a sunburst finish, light scratches along the back, and a small dent near the lower bout. The case is burgundy velvet-lined with a zipped closure. The bow has a bright blue wrap and the hair looks mildly frayed. Inside the lid there's a sticker with the initials 'MV' and a pencil note reading 'From Grandma.' The instrument seems playable, and I hope to reconnect it with its owner in Victoria soon.
Brown violin with blue ribbon near Munro's Books
I found a violin this afternoon around 3:25pm on the sidewalk in front of Munro's Books on Government Street in Victoria. It's a brown violin with a warm amber varnish, a few small scratches near the tailpiece, and a blue ribbon tied to the scroll. The black case is a bit scuffed, and the bow sits inside with a worn-looking horsehair. There's a small maple-leaf sticker on the case lid for a simple identifier. I’m keeping it safe for now and really hope to reunite it with its owner—this instrument likely means a lot to someone who plays. If this is yours, please reach out so I can hand it back.
Found Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar
I found a Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar this morning around 7:30am on the sidewalk outside the Royal BC Museum along Government Street, near the Inner Harbour in Victoria. It's in a natural satin finish, dreadnought shape, with a couple of small dings on the lower bout and a blue strap with white stars still attached. There's a faint heart-shaped scratch on the headstock and a small sticker inside the soundhole with the name 'Alex'. I know how much a guitar can mean to someone and I’d really like to return it to its owner—if you recognize this, please get in touch.
