- Rhiannon Schmitt gives the title of the Pink Floyd song a whole new meaning. "Do not practice your backhand with his Stradivarius" and useful .-- other advice
A while back in Edmonton, Canada, a heavy flyaway juggling pin hit the most unlikely of targets: Italian violin rare 270-year-old. The Brothers Karamazov by airlines were juggling with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, when the accident was strange.
"Suddenly, one flew out of the juggler's hand and landed on a violin just behind him," said Jerrold Eilander, publicist for the band. "Some people are confused, some people do not know what was going on ... It just brought in the program and came to what is coming." Fortunately, the violin player, incidentally also the concertmaster, was reported to be unharmed, and only violin bridge was damaged.
This is one of the many accidents I hear violin all the time. Only last week the mothers of my students called me, his voice steeped in a painfully familiar tone discomfort, followed by a phrase morbid panic-inducing moment in the psyche of a music teacher: "The violin was broken."
This was not the first time I had heard those two words smashed together in a terrible combination. An example was a particularly traumatic couple of years ago when a student accidentally (really, how often people break expensive antiques intentionally?) lost one of my violins.
My mind has triggered a survival reflex is not used since my early ancestors fought saber-toothed tigers. This alone would not let me Keeling over the shock. "Stay calm, I thought to myself. "Just do not panic," was my next thought, closely followed by "I'll kill him! "
I kept calm and explained in my most reassuring voice as possible, not make you feel worse, he was sure that the violin can be repaired. I forced my stiff teeth in a smile when he showed me the violin, scroll and broken strings stretched in all directions. It's funny, but in the end really there was nothing to bother about. The violin was repaired and only an expert could see the thin line where the rupture occurred.
A reputation Violins fragility point precedes that people are nervous, almost superstitious about him. I see the anxiety in the eyes of a student when they first violin Once, fearing that the instrument spontaneously combust or break as soon as you touch.
Although there must practice your backhand with his Stradivarius violins are incredibly robust and long to live if you take appropriate precautions. For starters, do not leave your violin laying on the floor, sitting on the couch or poorly on top of a stack of books. Cellist James McKean once said: "Always hold the seat belt, never trust someone who calls you 'friend', Do not stop the cello out there to get tripped over. It is the most common cause of damage to an instrument or bow. "
I suggest that players hang their violins on a hook or a rack of instruments registered in the wall or just put it back in its case when not in use. Never leave it in the car, especially when hot or cold, and always take the cab instead of the trunk. Oh, and do not forget his fiddle on the roof of the car when it comes out. Believe it or not, I know someone he did exactly that!
In case something happens to your violin, you can usually get your repair. If the damage is such that it can not be repaired, the Most insurance policies cover the loss of his home in musical instruments. It's a good idea to do a written assessment of your instrument to your company insurance so you get just the replacement value.
A final word about caring for Violin: Try your best to avoid pin juggling in the air!
