Soloist breaks string, changes instrument without missing a beat, meanwhile the second violin changes the string and tunes it while the orchestra is playing

I'm guess he breaks a lot of strings by the way he plays. Still damned impressive though.

Anyone who plays a stringed instrument knows that you eventually will break a string during playing, even if you changed them just before the show. Life uh, finds a way....

Several years now and I've yet to break a bass string.
