Ouch!

Your bad day at the office pales in comparison to violinist David Garrett. Garrett recently tripped and fell on to his 290-year-old Stradivari. The reports aren’t very specific about the damage inflicted, except to quote Garrett as saying the instrument was “in pieces.” But, the violin, known as the “San Lorenzo“, is apparently repairable, albeit at a price of £60,000. If you’d like to know a bit more, check out the commentary over on violinist.com.
