Pretty sure those "April Fools" smashes were probably spare violins. Schools do have cheap instruments for students to use, and they're not always the most well taken care of. I'm sure there's a storeroom somewhere behind every band room that has essentially unusable instruments. In my mind, the third guy walked back in with a brand new violin his parents bought him, he was obviously the soloist, so maybe they shelled out for one of his own. Obviously, he cleared it with the teacher to smash one of the crappier school violins. Or he's a frustrated teenager that just rage quit Orchestra.

people mock classical musicians for not moving&dancing while they play (I know some do) but that first accident just shows how important a Heifetz-statue pose is for safety reasons.

[@actuallyreallyshort8582]

Oh no that hurt me on a different level.

[@vasyltrushchak7536]

There should be some limits about movements it's true. But moving makes audience feel you are very involved in music you play and make them feel the same way about the music, so some moves and smile make really good image for sure. The other thing is that if you are street musician you should always aware of space you are using and what's going on around you (I know it from my own experience. There are also stories about streets musicians that were stolen money because they wheren't paying attention wat is going on arround them). That's the thing the man in video certainly didn't care about. Another good thing about the right stature is that it helps to play better, more in tune and not having any pain afterwards. But when you come the certain level you surely can find the ballance between moving and stature to achive both great sound and looking good. I can tell it as street musician who played 9 years in music school and for now on havve 7 years of street playing experience.

[@gatesurfer]

My flinchworthy story. When I was in junior high school, one of my classmates wanted to make a violin. He was a cellist and really into woodworking. His dad had a fully equipped shop at home, but he did a lot of work at school, since we actually had a pretty cool shop teacher. He was meticulous in carving out a beautifully shaped top, measuring it carefully with calipers to make sure it was the right thickness all the way through. Fantastic work. He had started working on the scroll, when one day in shop I saw him standing there with a sad look on his face. "What happened?" I asked. "(Person not to be named) sat on it. He sat on my violin," he said. "And he just said, I sat on your violin!' Sure enough, there it was, with was a crack in the top, at the f-holes, from being crushed. So sad. We had high stools in the shop, surrounding the work tables, but the guy for some reason decided to plop himself down on a table rather than sit on a stool, and didn't look where he was sitting. So stupid, since we often left tools like chisels, files and saws on those tables, not to mention our projects. I think he eventually finished it, at home, but I never saw the finished instrument, so I don't know if it was playable. That crack probably would have caused all kinds of chatter.

[@matthewdalessandro5975]

Part of what you're taught in shop classes (heck, most of what you're taught) is safety. The kid who sat on the bench honestly probably should have been told that he lost his shop privileges and that he would have to stay in the classroom for the remainder of the semester, rather than be trusted with any of the dangerous equipment in the shop (and if it meant he failed the class, then he failed and it was his own fault - our shop classes had similar policies that were drilled into us to ensure we took the safety parts seriously)

Fr tho, she deserved it. Theres plenty of space on the sidewalk instead she decided to squeeze through that tiny space behind the performer, she probably knew it wasn't going to work but still decided to do it.

[@jessicaalfaro145]

@створец сгущёнковоза I don't know if you are familiar with street performers but people give them their space to do what they do. You can clearly see that in the video, the people are not walking in the sidewalk because it's common sense not to get close. That lady was in a hurry for whatever reason and thought she could just ran behind him to not be slowed down by the people walking. First of all, everybody knows it's dangerous to run in a place that has a lot of people walking (seems like a shopping district). Second, he performs there because he knows there are lots of people so he can get more spectators and money, at his age it could be the only way he get incomes. So, who's really to blame? I would say the girl, but i really don't blame anyone because both suffered consequences. Also he was very polite despite everything so I don't see why you get so mad.

[@jessicaalfaro145]

@створец сгущёнковоза There can't be consequences if people don't get too close to him as it should be. You can't blame the electricity if someone get's electrocuted by touching a wire barehanded can you? It's just dumb. If people don't know how to stay safe sooner or later they'll get hurt. And it has way more sense that people learn how to behave in a public space (not running and look at your suroundings) than saying to an old man "Hey stop doing what you do to get money, it could hurt dumb people". Also, it's not a "tiny" sidewalk. You can see there is no height diference between the sidewalk and the street so we can asume is a street only for pedestrians (You can see that in the full video if you search). So.. how wide is an entire street? 12 meters? Why would that lady just cross behind him having such a wide space? It was her who risked herself to get hurt. The man did nothing.

And the fact that it’s a violin, a whole instrument, which costs a lot of money, makes it even worse. He was dancing around and jumping (way more agile than the average elderly, and goodness think about how it might be hurting him) and putting all this genuine effort in to get some extra dosh, only to lose his violin completely 😭 what if he can’t afford a new one?? What if that was one of his possessions for years, something he’s been passionate about for a great portion of his life, only for it to be stripped away from him by a reckless woman… gosh I’m about to cry.

Even if he didn't smash his violin *on her face* he could still bump into someone. Maybe she was in a hurry, maybe she was worried about something, probably wasn't thinking straight and who in hell would predict the guy playing violin in the street would do a twisted backflip right at the moment you are behind him? This was an unfortunate incident, there is no point in blaming people.

[@Beabuzz123]

I have a crazy one for you guys… in 8th grade, we were passing out new music and I had some extras, so I leaned my bow up against my chair, stood up and put the extras on my teacher’s stand (I was in the front row so I just stood up and reached over) and I sat back down and just heard a crunch. I stood up and saw the tip of my bow lying limply on my chair, and I was like “…um… Mr Brown?” And he was like “oh… well these things happen, you can borrow a bow for this class” and I did. But the bright side was, I needed a full size violin anyway so we went to the music store to get one that weekend 😊
