Hello friends!

My beautiful fiddle that I’ve had since sixth grade was stolen. This fiddle has been with me through countless performances, street corner busks, rehearsals, weddings, campfires, band practices, gigs and many a jam night.

I’ve tried for the past two months to report it missing to proper authorities, spreading the word on reddit, music forums, facebook pages, emailing pawn shops, and reporting its disappearance to every potential place it could be. I’ve been reverse image searching, and have alerts for any new postings of violins on every second-hand website within a hundred mile radius of where it was taken. But none of this has led to any leads.

I currently do not have the means to replace my fiddle. I am in a compromising position: fiddling has been my primary income for the past few months. I feel sorta like Harry Potter when he lost his wand.

I humbly ask for help to purchase a new one. If somehow, the fiddle is found by a pawn shop or the authorities, I promise to refund any amount you donate. I will also thank you by sending you a personal fiddle tune, and I will fiddle for any occasion you need!
