You gotta read this.
This up and coming young violinist trips and destroys a MILLION DOLLAR instrument.... And somebody lent him a Stradivarius. His insurance company must be thrilled.
I wonder if he said (at any point) "I'm going to sacrifice something I really, really love - man" and then sprayed his ax with lighter fluid before striking a match.... That would have been even more cool.
