Sunburst 4/4 violin with crescent inlay
I lost my sunburst 4/4 violin yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Market on Hale Street in Charleston, WV. It's a 2000s Japanese-made instrument, warm amber finish, and it has a tiny crescent-shaped inlay on the scroll plus a small nick on the lower bout. The case is a black rectangular hard case with a red velvet interior; the bow has a silver frog and a slightly warped tip. Inside the outer pocket I kept a red rosin bag and a faded sticker with my initials 'MP.' This violin is sentimental to me—my grandmother gave it to me—and I really need it back to keep playing. If you found it, please message me; I’d be forever grateful.
Navy blue North Face hoodie with orange fox patch
Yesterday around 3pm I lost my navy blue North Face fleece hoodie near Capitol Market on Quarrier Street in Charleston, WV.
