    It all adds to the excitement of a live performance. Apparently Paganini had a marvelous crowd pleasing turn where, should his e-string break in performance, he would continue the piece by playing in increasingly stratospheric positions on the 'a' string. I enjoyed the violin swap and the immediate, polite understanding taking place before the next appropriate entry.

    Exactly. And when there's no soloist involved, if someone in the section breaks a string, the broken-stringed instrument gets passed back and traded in the same manner until the person in the back gets it and can fix it, then passes it back up.

  • @masael255

    If I remember correctly it works like this (and it's explained well in the "Midori violin string break" incident): The soloist trades his violin with the concert master, who trades it with his/her stand partner, who trades it with the person behind him/her and all the way to the back of the first violin section so that that individual may restring the instrument. Once restrung the instrument gets sent back up during the performance or at the movement break and the soloist resumes on that violin.
