STOLEN GUITAR- Mohan Veena, that is

[stubhead]

Harry Manx is a bluesman who has also spent several decades studying Indian classical music. He plays a highly modified archtop called a "Mohan Veena" with another layer or "course" of sympathetic strings. And, it was STOLEN at the Chicago airport Friday. I'm just passing this so a few more thousand pairs of eyeballs are alerted:

The biggest danger is that because it's such a distinctive instrument, when the boom-boom opens up the case and sees it, he'll realize he CAN'T sell it, and does something horrible. It's unlikely that it could show up in a pawnshop or Craigslist.

Found!


From Harry Manx's facebook page:


Beloved friends, My Veena Has Been Found! On Monday the 24th, the man who stole
my Mohan Veena at Chicago O’Hara Airport was caught while trying to steal more luggage. He eventually gave up the location of the instrument and it was recovered.
The police now have it in their possession. I plan to return to Chicago next Tuesday to pick it up.
There’s no way for me to express the gratitude I have to everyone for helping out, but I would like
to say that the generous outpouring of support has uplifted my spirits and renewed my faith in the
kindness of strangers. love to all, in gratitude.
