much of my G.B. Guadagnini had been crushed.”... Boy, I bet that hurt. I only bent my G.D Whackeroo and it took me a LOOOONG time to get over that!

Yeah, but that old stuff (obviously) won’t hold up to abuse.

Some CA, some carbon fiber, and we’ll give him a violin that can double as a skateboard, and smell good, too! (hide glue smells, to me, like dead animals).

I can’t entirely buy this story. I would think a hard case would provide better protection, and such a serious fall would have injured the violinist as well.

I agree, something smells fishy here.

Roses are red.
Violins are yellow.

They always loan the great violinists fine instruments. Very few buy them.

We can rebuild it. Make it stronger. Faster. Better.

>>>>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.
