D'oh! On leaving a fiddle in a taxi cab...

D'oh! On leaving a fiddle in a taxi cab...

Yeah, well don't scold me, but it happened after a session in Brighton. Unlike the Russian who left his leased $4M Strad in a cab and got it returned, mine has failed to resurface. This happened in Brighton on Monday night/Tues. morning. (Sept. 15) And yes, alcohol was involved, but no excuse.

It's not an expensive one, but it's easily identifiable. It has a repaired crack along the left F hole and a thin crack along the soundpost. So it's pretty much worthless to anyone but me. The label is handwritten "T. Rathbone 17/9/1937"

If discovered, please let me know, or send it over to the Brighton Station police. They have my report on it.

Thanks.

Good thing you didn't leave your banjo in the cab, or the cab company would be overrun with banjos by now! ;-)

Seriously, good luck getting it returned!

I once left my ( secondhand, Greek ) bouzouki in a folk club.
Maybe that was my subconscious working ?
Hope you get the fiddle back.
