Hey everyone, post your funny stories that involved some stringy situations. ^_^
I'd have to say the funniest moment I had was in band. You see, my school is retarded and doesn't have an orchestra so I play in band, and I'm the only string there. Once, after we played a passage, the conductor said to me, "Steph, point your F-hole more toward me so the sound can come more toward the audience." Everyone else gasped, and I just burst out laughing, thinking of how funny that must have sounded to them.

My eigth grade teacher was instructing the violins on a difficult (read: easy, but we somehow weren't getting it) passage, and the cellos and bases were messing around, playing their instruments and talking. She asked them to stop three times, then finally lost her temper, whirled around and shouted,
"Stop it, you pluckers!" really loudly and angrily.
Everyone sat in stunned silence for a second, then a cellist burst out laughing, and gasping "Pluckers!.... I'm a plucker!"
Soon everyone was laughing, and we called eachother plucking pitches for the rest of the year. rolleyes

I looked really weird playing my violin with a cast, because I had broken my wrist, it was a full arm cast. we had a concert and I was on the outside. It was embarrassing. That's not really funny, it's just weird. 3nodding

Once I played a special for the church service. I was patiently waiting for my cue to go onstage to play. At that time, the choir was just finishing their song, and they hit the ending note (you know, the "high soprano", glorious kind of end-note). The same moment the music stopped, I moved my hand for something (the hand holding the bow), and the metal tip of my bow very loudly plucked the E string. The entire choir stared down at me, and some smiled and giggled. It was embarrassing then, but now I think it's really funny. Just imagine: "Haaallelujaaaaahhhh!!" *PLINK*

Well, (first post) bring to mind jokes about the g-string.
But it's more the general joking around with one of my new friends.
It's somehow incredibly funny when we whack stuff with violins, bows, etc.
I've whacked my violin so many times and it's fine. : DD
But we act like that and the cellist (sp?) I think is hot who sits across the room stares.
...sorry, you kinda have to be there.

Hmm...let's see...near the beginning of the school year (since our school orchestra sucks) the first violins kept playing open A instead of fourth finger on the D string, so the teacher stops us and says, "I don't mind the open A-ness but you really should use your fourth finger." rofl
That's the only really funny thing that happened, except today at symphony rehearsal, during break, I told my friend to fall off the stage and he almost landed on his cello case. >.<
