Lost Portable Instruments Solution Guide – Recover Your Musical Companions

Portable instruments are a musician’s constant companion, whether for rehearsals, lessons, performances, or travel. Because they are carried frequently and often stored in public spaces like rehearsal rooms, concert halls, airports, or cafés, they are also at high risk of being lost or forgotten. Losing an instrument can be both financially painful and emotionally devastating. The HERQ mobile app and the RewardHero platform provide an efficient way to report lost or found portable instruments instantly, alert nearby people, and maximize the chances of recovery.

Examples of Portable Instruments Often Reported Lost

  • String instruments – violins, violas, and guitars, often misplaced during travel or after concerts.
  • Wind instruments – flutes, clarinets, and saxophones, commonly forgotten in rehearsal spaces or schools.
  • Brass instruments – trumpets, trombones, or cornets, often left behind after performances.
  • Small percussion instruments – tambourines, bongos, or practice pads.
  • Instrument cases and gig bags – sometimes containing not only the instrument but also sheet music and accessories.

What to Include in a Lost Instrument Notice

  • Brand and model – essential for confirming ownership.
  • Case type and color – many instruments are identified by their gig bags or hard cases.
  • Unique markings – stickers, engravings, or labels make your instrument recognizable.
  • Location and time last seen – rehearsal space, concert hall, transport, or café.
