Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is great but I really wish some grungy long-haired roadie would have run out hunched over and handed him a new violin before grabbing the broken one and running back off stage.
Hey its /u/raychenviolin! Pretty cool guy, less active now cause hes out there slaying violins, but hes got a subreddit too /r/raychenviolin
And the dud just gets passed down the line......
Seems like a good place to link the smoothest string break ever. Stevie does not even miss a beat.

At the other extreme, I saw Tenpole Tudor live. His guitar string broke. He stopped playing. Didn't have a spare guitar, tried to restring it onstage for a few minutes. failed. Stumbled through the rest of the song and went off to presumably find some more intoxicating substances.
40 hours of practice a day to pull this off
That's only a little impressive compared to how THIS magnificent maestro handles his instrument malfunction.
There was this one time Midori had to swap her violin like this twice in a row. I believe she was also a kid at the time and not using a full size violin (3/4), so she had to play violins a size larger than she was used to.
EDIT: Here's the video
Anybody else get a chuckle out of the higher chair violinists just passing the broken violin down to the lower chair violinists?
