Yuri Bashmet - Help! my 1758 viola falls apart (this one replaces the old video...)

[mycrazycatXD]

Thats a big viola

[alsozoidberg]

Does anyone know what piece Bashmet was performing when this happened?

[danielwowman]

haha poor him

[takas20]

Isn't there foreshadowed by Monty Python ?

Waarom zegt die presentatrice 'viool' als ze weet dat de bespeler een 'altviolist' is?

[otterhouse]

Someone uploaded a better version of this video. Search for "altviool kapot" on youtube, and you can find the video!

Greetings,

sono cose che succedono... Una volta capitò al violino di spalla dell'orchestra del teatro San crlo, in tournèe a Erl, in Austria, durante una sinfonia di Beethoven. Ma il violinista dietro gli passò subito il suo violino e il concerto non fu fermato e andò avanti

Yes..The video is all distored. This is a great video. Anybody know where I can get a clear copy. There was one on Countdown with Keith Olbermann yesterday, Feb. 2 on MSNBC.

OMG!!! i love that viola!!! its only the tailpiece lining that broke....i have his tailpiece...the lining is only a thin metal strand.....no wonder they brake!

I think they are supplied with standard nylon lines now. At least that's what mine came with...

[vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

@DevilViolinist Often now it's kevlar, which is really, really strong. Sometimes it's steel wire, and the standard is thick nylon. In the old days, it was gut.

I have uploaded it twice now... And on my home computer I Don't have any problems with it. Uploaded on youtube, you get these psychedelic distortion...

Sorry

It may be an idiot question, but did Youtube do this to your video, or did it look like this before you uploaded it? If it was the latter, why did you bother?

[GayDad420]

Terrible quality.

[ourvinylcollection]

I got the jist of the video, but why is it so distorted?
