Stolen Fiddles

Unfortunately we have another Stolen Instrument Alert to bring to your attention.

Kayla Ray, plays fiddle and mandolin with the bluegrass band “Exception To The Rule“. The day after her 17th birthday, our car was broken into while playing two concerts in the Dublin, GA area. A black canvas double violin case was stolen containing Kayla’s two antique ornate fiddles. She is heartbroken!

Kayla’s mother sent along a few photos and a flyer they are using to alert people. They are offering a $1000 reward for the return of these instruments. Hopefully the bluegrass community can rally and help this young musician recover her instruments without the need for a cash pay out.
