Yuri Bashment’s instrument…

When we attend concerts, we frequently hear instruments, especially string instruments, that may have been built originally in the 1600′s all the way to current times. We rarely give thought to the fact that these old instruments will occasionally fail. If such failure occurs during a concert, fast action to provide the soloist with a replacement instrument is required. Otherwise all music stops.

Here’s an example where an alternate instrument was not available. Have a look at the video below. It is only 19 seconds long, so watch carefully…

Who's Hank

Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

Hank's taste includes the old Gregorian Chants and related religious works as well as music of the Baroque, Classical, and the Romantic period. Some of his favorites include Mahler, Edward Elgar, Leonard Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten.
