Quite a repair to be undertaken, it seems.

"I hope and pray that it can be fixed..." A real Master will be able to do the job but it will never sound the same again.

The Barbican is a very easy place to fall. When wet (i.e. most of the time in the UK), the stairs pool water and are very slippery. But fortunately the walls of the outside stairwells are made of a very rough aggregate so that you can scrape significant parts of your skin from your body as you fall.
God I hate the Barbican.

The accident occurred Dec. 27 but only came to light this week when he returned to London...
...having perfected all details of the insurance scam & resolving to retire from active violin playing...

Ive got cyanoacrylate glue Sorry, wrong century for that stuff. I recently bought a lifetime supply (one pound) of genuine hide glue, made in New Jersey USA, to install a new neck on my banjo. That's what the old boys in the 1700s probably used to stick fiddles together.

My stringbass, not in the $1 million range, has had a few repairs and sounds better all the time. My set of 18” C-clamps is fairly substantial now.

when was the last time you fell down a flight of stairs backward, with or without a $1m violin on your back?
