One of New Zealand's best-known musicians has had his harmonicas stolen.
Harmonica legend Midge Marsden was playing at Dr Rudi's bar in the Viaduct, Auckland, last Wednesday when an opportunistic thief took off with at least 30 of the instruments.
Marsden writes on his Facebook page that the harmonicas are
critical to him hitting the right notes and that they'll be useless to anyone else.
"I would appreciate you returning my valuable and needed for my music job harmonicas. There is a reward for their return. Unless the person responsible is a professional musician and plays these diatonic harps, they will be of no use at all. I need them for my job as a musician."
Last Wednesday at Dr Rudis bar in the Viaduct, I lo my entire case of harmonicas, I was packing up after our gig there...

Marsden, who is due to play at Millers Coffee Roastery tonight, believed the instruments were taken when his back was turned.
