Thread Name: My fiddle exploded.
Subject: RE: My fiddle exploded.
Well, thank goodness no injuries were had by any of youse.

I always wondered about snapping, especially on a fiddle. I have seen one particular fiddler snap a string twice in concert. He goes thru fiddle bow hair at an astonishing rate and I heard he packs a bunch of bows in his kit. He always has strange looking glasses on and I can surmise one good reason... they may be simply safety glasses!
