The US National Anthem, on a baseball bat

Glenn Donnellan of the National Symphony Orchestra makes a violin out of a Louisville Slugger and plays the National Anthem: story



I'll bet it would have sounded better with a nitro finish.  :mrgreen: :P

Heck of a baseballiolinist. Should have been a Babe Ruth bat though.

That "tone" (a grossly misused word) is kick-ass!

All he needs is a bit of "on the edge" feedback and it would be complete.  wonder what amp violinists prefer for their Viobats?

He probably grew up listening to Nigel Kennedy. But its a stellar performance. I've rarely seen the US anthem done as forceful as this. Even beats Hendrix.
