MY WHITE ZETA FIVE STRING JAZZ ELECTRIC VIOLIN IS COMING TO THE SURFACE NOW!!
I'VE BEEN CONTACTED BY SOMEONE WHO BOUGHT THE ZETA FOR $300, AND IS WILLING TO RETURN IT, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, IN THE HOPES OF BEING REIMBURSED FOR THE $300 HE SPENT ON IT!
So here I go - back to FUND RAISING to drum up the last amount of money to be able to retrieve my electric violin!
**Also taken was a black five string bass in a soft gig bag, and a bag with a STREAMLINER 9.0 bass amp, a tuner, and cords.
The Bass was pretty distinctive as well - it has a bolt on neck, and large white letters in a circle around the top of the back of the bass, where the neck attaches to the body.
These instruments are vitally important - it is HOW I make my living!
I'm not in a good position to deal with this problem right now - I'm in a rebuilding, re-inventing, re-defining, re-creating, and re-establishing process!!
Since I have just recently moved back to Kona, while going through an extremely difficult divorce, devasting loss and dissolution of my music group "Mango", BOTH which leave me with huge financial difficulties, I really have no monetary "padding" - this could not have happened at a worse time for me! That is why I need to ask for your HELP in any way you are able to!
Here is a link to the News story, that will give you more background on what happened on the night of November 12th -
After a story on Hawaii News Now, the violins have surfaced!!
Someone bought the Classical instrument to resell it, discovered it was stolen, and has contacted me. He was not able to buy both the instruments, as he did not have enough money.
He is helping to locate the White ZETA electric violin, and I am working hard to raise the reward $$ and arrange a meeting for the exchange to take place.
(Since then, I have indeed successfully collected the classical violin, bow, and case - it is in good hands. The funds that were raised - $700 - were transferred to the gentleman who had bought the classical instrument to sell on ebay, then discovered it was a stolen instrument.)
PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT COULD HELP ME TO FIND THE ZETA AGAIN!
(808) 331-3017
I am offering a reward for their return., and this site is to raise money for that reward! Every little thing helps - any donation, small or large, is a another step towards getting the violins back in my hands once more.
