Violinist trips, smashes million-dollar instrument

[slayer32390]

Do flight cases not come in violin sizes? If I'd spent that much money on an instrument, I'm fucking positive it would have the best protection I could get for it.

+1 I'd carry that thing as carefully as a nuclear warhead if it was mine what an idiot

They come bullet proof, humidity conditioned, the works. Something smells fishy here.

Too bad the incident wasn't put on Youtube. I'd love to see that. Twunt.

Do they sell Strads at GC? With the store closings, he may be able to pick up a good deal.

Just an accident.. I thought he went mad and smashed in on purpose like some rockstar would

That would be cool if you went to the symphony and at the end they all trashed their instruments.

He went to the Gerald R Ford Music Academy.

Ad. "Tripped out violin. Really old. There are a few cracks on the soundboard. But it's an easy fix. It has no affect on the sound. Best offer over $750,000."

They shouldn't let him buy another antique violin. There are only so many on the planet left and I think he's going to do a number on several in his lifetime.

Save what we have!

Get over it. The dude plays worthy of a Strad. I guess. It's kinda like having a very expensive rare car. You drive it all the time and then, OH SHIT, I just crashed it.

Some idiot lent him a Stradivarius after he did that to his own?!

That's what I thought! Fucker would be playing a Squier or an LTD if it were my call! Well, whatever the Squier or LTD of concert violins are, you get the idea...
