Conductor Accidentally Knocks Over £1 Million Violin

A conductor accidentally hit a £1 million violin, causing it to fall.

This happened during a concert in Finland when the conductor got excited and hit the violin. The violinist, Elina Vahala, was playing a concerto.

Elina was shocked, but she quickly put her foot under the violin to stop it from getting damaged. This helped prevent serious damage.

The accident occurred while Elina was playing the concerto's finale.

Elina looked at the violin in horror, then picked it up. The orchestra stopped playing when the conductor told them to.

The violin is very rare and was made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Similar violins are worth a lot of money.

Elina looked at her violin in shock after it fell.

The concert stopped for a moment to check the violin. It seemed okay, but the sound was slightly different.

Elina said she was lucky to have stopped the violin from getting damaged. She doesn't remember the moment it happened.

The violin was checked before Elina continued playing.

Elina said the violin is a part of her. It has changed to fit her playing style over time.

The violin was fixed by a specialist. The damage was minor, and it could have been much worse.

The conductor said sorry, and the orchestra supported Elina. She doesn't hold a grudge and wants to keep playing with her violin.
