While that would have ruined my night, that's actually a piece of cake for a good repair man.

This is very sad... :( I hope it can be fixed... I broke my violin when I was 10, and hopefully it was repairable but it is one of my saddest memory.

I was there when it happened. Everyone, the band, the crowd, even Andrew just went silent. My soul wept; it was a very sad moment. Ironically I guess it was supposed to be his last song too, until Giant of Illinois was requested. It was still an incredibl

:(
saddest thing ever.

I was there Andrew was amazingly calm! There was quite the gasp and bit of silence. Then someone shouted Giant of Illinois and it was snap back to
the music. He knew it could be fixed and was not concerned

Oh no!! That's the saddest picture ever...

I can barely handle looking at this picture

That hurts my heart

This happened to a violin of mine in 3rd grade. A car ran over my case! Did a car run over your case?

Despite this tragedy, it was an incredible show!

Oh my goodness, this is my worst nightmare. I'm so sorry; hope it can be repaired.

you really did'nt want to be there..it was horrifying..i was like so sad the rest of the night and today...musicians like me feel a sense of loss when their instruments get broken..my guitar i had for about 12 years that i learned on..from age 6..broke in

Andrew bird is punk rock now! Awesome!

That would have been horrifying to watch. I even gasped when I saw the picture.

aw i heard about this. that really sucks. although i strangely wish i was there when it happened

Oh honey :(

why do bad things happen to good instruments?

What a coincidence that you were singing about fixing string instruments before your violin fell to the ground...I hear it was your dear friend since childhood. Sorry for your loss. Good luck tonight.

Im so sorry....Iam distraught...i was there...CHEER UP...that version of fake palandromes was the best version yet...

This is very sorrowful, but it was a funny moment. I like this idea of getting Dr. Stringz on it!
