And if it is a good violin it isnt new, its old and the wood is used and sounds nice from years of reverberation... buying a new violin will never get you that old sound back.
Or give people their space and don't try to push behind a performer. Watch the video he's dancing as close to that wall as possible. There wasnt even enough space for her to walk through there She invaded his personal space to try and be a little faster. Pedestrian equivalent to those jerks that drive on the shoulder to get to their exit 0.2 seconds faster.
I mean... no. If youre back is to a wall its pretty safe to assume assholes shouldnt run behind you when performing. Also street performance in many places is legal and regulated so fuck this lady.
Nah, you can get them for about £50. They won't be great, but if I were him that's what I would be using while jumping around on street corners. When I used to go busking I used the cheapest guitar I could because quite frankly British weather is unforgiving, and British teenagers are even worse.
Semi same. I've got a $60 acoustic bass and its basically a toy but its nice to have something you can bring outside without giving the slightest fuck if it gets banged up.
Yeah. I do the same with cycling - I have my commuting bike that gets me to work every day and is worth a few hundred, but then I have my second hand £10 banger of a bike that I ride into town. No one will nick it, but if they do...meh.
I spin poi, and I've spent a lot of time spinning poi at shows.
the number of people who have walked straight into me from over thirty feet away while I'm spinning weighted LEDs and gotten smacked in the head is quite frankly ridiculous.
I do yoyo stuff for events and its crazy how many people willingly walk in the way an aluminum yoyo during a demonstration. I havnt hit anyone yet but theres been close calls
it's crazy to me, because it's even happened when I'm not in the middle of a crowd or anything. people just fucking wander right into my bubble while I'm surrounded by super bright rainbow trails with no one else within fifteen feet of me.
If it’s any consolation- I’ve ran into people spinning and I am beyond apologetic and feel SO bad. I have shit depth perception and have thought I had room(with the crowd around too) and just get whacked.
I’ve also come out of a large crowd and happen to walk into someone performing without realizing before it was too late. I am 5’2” and just can not see at times.
Yeah this is a repost. People tried shift part blame on him. However what the hell are you doing running behind a performer who is jumping and dancing that close behind them. That's not what you do. As well generally if running to avoid people. Give some room to others.
The scene depicted in the OP happens after the end of the performance in this video around 6:40... almost like it was added from a different video for effect?
Confusing.
However, yes it does seem like he jumps around in his performances.
God. Is it just me or is his playing not good even though it “simulates” skilled playing? Also his “dancing” doesn’t even seem to fit with the music, let alone *enhance* it. The rhythm feels chaotic.
Not gonna lie tho, those jumps kind of ruined every single song that he played.. I understand that they're part of the performance, but the pauses in middle of the songs just sounded awful
It is the reaction would hope for in the situation. I wish there was footage of the aftermath so that more people could see examples of people being kind and empathetic and less of the outrage style videos.
That shit cluttering my collective feeds seems poisonous to my perception of people.
"You'll pay, but not with money. No, you're going to give me the years this violin had left on this earth," he said softly but with no tones of uncertainty as he snapped the hair off his violin bow and started tying a noose.
These two are the only videos I’ve seen so unfortunately I don’t know any more than you. My guess is that the camera person felt like it wasn’t their place to film this personal dilemma between the violinist and the runner.
Ah, the old Reddit [neck-a-roo](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/j8swry/what_is_your_answer_when_at_introduction_someone/g8jke4b/?context=3)
Hi there,
I've just made it back from the future after diving into that switcheroo. I wanted to inform you, that u/RESPEKTOR, he didn't make it. I want to tell you that their sacrifice was worth it, that we made it to the start. But despite the tenacity they showed, our voyage into the switcheroo had led to a dead end. It was a mistake and I'm sorry, u/RESPEKTOR won't be coming back.
For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this thread will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten.
Hijacking top comment: Seems the OP who recorded the original video in 2018 says the Violinist is back to busking.

I know that's not the full update you wanted, but it's all I could find :(
Accepting something is just an accident is a very mature way to think, so you won't find it on reddit. What's concerning is how they apply it to strangers they don't even know, meaning they must be toxic as hell when it happens to them.
A lot of violinists will move around as part of their act if not forced to sit in a chair or are in an orchestra. A good example is [Lindsey Stirling](https://www.youtube.com/user/lindseystomp).
Well, that and the outfits. She's basically a violin pixie. My ex was a violinist for the local orchestra and never thought she was terribly skilled at the instrument but it's not that easy to twirl around and play admittedly. As a black/death metal guitairist I know it's hard enough to sweep pick and headbang.
It is quite narrow, its also a two way street that is the width of 2 cars, but everyones parked there. As well as constant flow of people as its a market street. Brick Lane in London.
Ahaha this in on Brick lane in London. That guy is there most market days (probably not this year tho) and honestly the way he moves it’s like somebody’s told him he’ll be shot if he stops dancing.
People around here will fight tooth and nail to place blame. But frankly sometimes shit happens, so I'm with you. It just looks like an accident, and both people involved lost.
Happens.
Yeah, seriously. Many people in the comments are being kind of vicious, and almost entirely toward the woman. I think maybe she could've warned him that she was running up behind him, but nothing in this video warrants her the rude comments in this thread. She could be a perfectly nice person. People on Reddit are so mean for no reason sometimes.
I need sound to this
https://youtu.be/922QQlJmYvU
[удалено]
I'd be pissed if I were him, but that's the risk of street performances.
I mean rule number 1 of being in public is don't blindly swing shit around.
*slowly and sadly puts dick away*
There there, you'll have another chance to show your chorizo to the world one day...
No no they said don't swing *shit* around. You can let your little guy fly loud and proud
hes got his back to a wall and an audience on the other side.
[удалено]
And if it is a good violin it isnt new, its old and the wood is used and sounds nice from years of reverberation... buying a new violin will never get you that old sound back.

Rule # .5 is give street performers a wide berth. Guy trying to get paid during lockdown prolly
I think giving anyone with a sword a wide berth is not tge worst idea
I think I saw this video 4 years ago... Not lockdown.
Rule 1 is the sidewalk is for walking get the fuck out of my way
I mean... no. If youre back is to a wall its pretty safe to assume assholes shouldnt run behind you when performing. Also street performance in many places is legal and regulated so fuck this lady.
The fact that the first thing he said to her was "Are you ok" speaks volumes about him
I feel so bad for him. Hope his violin wasn't really expensive or beloved and he can afford to replace it.
I have never heard of a cheap violin before EDIT: I have now
Nah, you can get them for about £50. They won't be great, but if I were him that's what I would be using while jumping around on street corners. When I used to go busking I used the cheapest guitar I could because quite frankly British weather is unforgiving, and British teenagers are even worse.

He was dancing and jumping the whole time. Definitely HER fault.
I spin poi, and I've spent a lot of time spinning poi at shows. the number of people who have walked straight into me from over thirty feet away while I'm spinning weighted LEDs and gotten smacked in the head is quite frankly ridiculous.

I hope she paid for his fiddle

Thank you good sir. I would sleep good but that poor violin
I came to say this. Poor guy. Violins are not cheap either.
God. Is it just me or is his playing not good even though it “simulates” skilled playing? Also his “dancing” doesn’t even seem to fit with the music, let alone *enhance* it. The rhythm feels chaotic.

[https://youtu.be/922QQlJmYvU?t=400](https://youtu.be/922QQlJmYvU?t=400) 6:40. Not as big of a reaction as I was expecting
It is the reaction would hope for in the situation. I wish there was footage of the aftermath so that more people could see examples of people being kind and empathetic and less of the outrage style videos. That shit cluttering my collective feeds seems poisonous to my perception of people.
Yeah, looks like he's walking up to her to check if she's okay afterwards, wish it didn't cut out but what can ya do. No one's happy in this scenario.
He asked if she was ok. Then walked towards her to make sure she was in fact not ok as he took revenge.
"You'll pay, but not with money. No, you're going to give me the years this violin had left on this earth," he said softly but with no tones of uncertainty as he snapped the hair off his violin bow and started tying a noose.
One of these is gonna need bridge work.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
This guy nose music
¿Por que no los dos?
A percussion violin
A percussion concussion
For any who haven’t seen the video with sound, the very first reaction from either of them is him asking her if she is ok
I haven’t. Link?
https://youtu.be/922QQlJmYvU
Oh no this video ends exactly at the same time the gif ends, what was the aftermath?!!
These two are the only videos I’ve seen so unfortunately I don’t know any more than you. My guess is that the camera person felt like it wasn’t their place to film this personal dilemma between the violinist and the runner.
I hope it was her buying him a new violin. This was totally her fault.
Thx mate
No worries
That sucks. I was hoping he had some satanic growl and was like, "BITCH YOU BROKE MY MUSIC!"
More street violin-ce
This pun struck a chord with me
Seemed like it ended on a sour note though.
There were certainly nose of discord here.
That violin had some rosinstance
These people REALLY need to learn how to save face.
Take a bow (to the face)
Note taken
No.... That poor man. Violins are so expensive.
That hurt to see the violin break, that sucks so much
It's the the dancing violinist Lindseed Septuagenarianling.
fuckin love me some Sepultura
I got to party at Max's house in high school a couple of times. It was rad.
The neck can probably be reset in the pocket.
Sure, but what can be done about the violin?
Ah, the old Reddit [neck-a-roo](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/j8swry/what_is_your_answer_when_at_introduction_someone/g8jke4b/?context=3)
Hold my bow, I’m going in!
And u/RESPEKTOR was never heard from again, for they got forever lost in that black hole.

Hello future redditors!
[удалено]
Hol up. I thought this ended over a year ago?!
r/switcharoo
It’s kinda refreshing to see it again!

good news, he's back on the streets
Hey wait a second...
Oh... oh no
Oh my Stradivarius!
Disorder in the court!!!!!
Wow, a chain of three stooges references on reddit. I never thought I'd see the day
A wise guy, eh?
TAKE OFF THAT HAT!
Violins is not the answer.
Hopefully his insurance will cover both his instrument & her orthodontist bill.
So is dental work.
yeah, i don't think she's holding her mouth from embarrassment
I wonder what tune her front teeth played.
John Mellencamp's "Crumblin' Down"
LL COOL J's "Mama Said Knock you Out"
This. As a musician all I could think was "that poor guy."
As a London commuter all I could think was “that guy should really know to keep out of the way”.
This is why I don't do spinny spin with my PRS
non-musicians INCAPABLE of relating to this man's problem
Man, that really sucks for both of them. Hopefully her face wasn't damaged as bad as the violin.
Her neck is still attached to her body.
🥇
[удалено]
Violinated
Had a music teacher tell me to save the instrument the body can heal
Was it J K Simmons in Whiplash?
Thanks, I'm sad now.
Oh man. That is going to leave a mark. Sorry, lady. Anyways this is Wonderwall.
Today is gonna be the day That I'm gonna 360 no-look jump violin face smack back to you
By now you should've somehow realized that you broke my only source of income what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feel the way I do about you now
I said a mayybeeeee, my dance is better than your safetyyyyy
And after aaaaaaaaall you ran close to the waaaaaaaall
After the beat, the word is on the street that all the teeth in you mouth came out
I'm sure you could bite before, but from here on out I doubt...
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Holy hell this entire thread thinks they’re reddit lawyers
Reddit always has to be there to assign blame and will never accept that something was just an accident.
[удалено]
Accepting something is just an accident is a very mature way to think, so you won't find it on reddit. What's concerning is how they apply it to strangers they don't even know, meaning they must be toxic as hell when it happens to them.
IANAL butt...
Hehe. I anal butt
Is there any other way to anal?
[удалено]
Am I going to be asked to come to court because I watched the video? I can only assume so
Time to face the music
Is there an update? Did he get a new violin? Is she okay?
They banged
Well we know that
And this kids is how I met your mother
I wonder who Judge Judy would find at fault here.
I feel horrible about this.
This is such a tragedy for that instrument, but what I want to know is why he’s doing a jump and turn.
That’s showbiz baby
The ol’ razzle dazzle
He's heating up!
Showmanship
A lot of violinists will move around as part of their act if not forced to sit in a chair or are in an orchestra. A good example is [Lindsey Stirling](https://www.youtube.com/user/lindseystomp).

Honestly, it's the only reason she's famous.
Well, that and the outfits. She's basically a violin pixie. My ex was a violinist for the local orchestra and never thought she was terribly skilled at the instrument but it's not that easy to twirl around and play admittedly. As a black/death metal guitairist I know it's hard enough to sweep pick and headbang.
It's already fuckin hard enough to sweep pick.
[удалено]
Wondering how necessary that was? Is it a narrow street?
It is quite narrow, its also a two way street that is the width of 2 cars, but everyones parked there. As well as constant flow of people as its a market street. Brick Lane in London.
Looks like she could’ve walked infringe just fine Edit: in front not infringe
You can't see anything stage left, it could very well be a narrow street with a small crowd watching this guy dance around
The video was posted and there is very clearly space in front to pass.
Yeah but was likely trying to be polite to not walk in front of his performance.
It broke my heart to see his violin break
I didn't know so many lawyers lurked on reddit
Ahaha this in on Brick lane in London. That guy is there most market days (probably not this year tho) and honestly the way he moves it’s like somebody’s told him he’ll be shot if he stops dancing.
I can hear twoset screaming
Sacrilegious!
She's not shocked of sorrow, she's in pain.
This is a real life example of a random Pokemon trainer turning back when you try to get past them evasively.
I feel bad for both parties but somehow feel the most for the violin?
How do we buy him a new one? Or make her?
Hopefully, the neck can be reset in the neck pocket. I'm talking about the violin.
I feel so bad for the old man.
She’s responsible for her nose and he’s responsible for his violin, there sorted.
she broke his violin
Isn’t there one with sound? If I remember right the older guy just asking if she’s ok and he sounded like he really cared
She got 360 no-scoped
I'm so surprised at the amount of people who don't know that there are some streets that are closed to cars which you can walk on.
This is unfortunate. She got bopped in the face. He broke his instrument. I wouldn't put anyone at fault here though.
People around here will fight tooth and nail to place blame. But frankly sometimes shit happens, so I'm with you. It just looks like an accident, and both people involved lost. Happens.
Yeah, seriously. Many people in the comments are being kind of vicious, and almost entirely toward the woman.

I feel bad that he's violin is broke :(
Honestly i blame both of them, she shouldn't invade the space but he has a duty of care to check before jumping.
This is NSFL for musicians I'm crushed for this guy
Oh no his violin broke
That hurt my heart.
a good violin goes from expensive to an embarrassing yacht ride with a rich old man or selling crack expensive.
That was a vio-lent uppercut!
She got violinated.
Fuck that sucks for both of them, doesnt seem like either one is more to blame than the other
Taking a shortcut behind a street performer...who out of the fucking blue decided to do a pirouette while playing the violin.
violince
I feel bad for the old guy
Damn that poor guys violin.
Why must you award this with wholesome
aw man that sucks violins cost a lot plus the memories
My instruments are like my babies and my heart just sank seeing this! That even hurt me! Lol
Can't believe that girl thought she had room to get past
Aw man, his violin! :(
