For his Valentine's Day concert there, he is playing a Stradivarius that's been loaned to him.

What dumb ass loaned him another one?

I can see the scene.

"I just fell backwards down a flight of stairs."

Yes, but did you damage the violin?"

A real friend is one who would lend you his Stradivarius after you’ve just trashed your Guadagnini...

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.

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

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...

Hey, "Mighty Putty" can fix anything! I know, because Billy Mays says so!
