The Violin Virtuoso plays itself
We're pretty much not going to be satisfied until all the musicians of the world have been replaced by either synthesizers, samplers, or robots, which is why it's a relief to see that Paratoud Music Laboratories have come out with the first self-playing violin. Buying one'll set you back $17,500, but you get (we presume) all the virtuosity of a real violin player without any of the debaucherous, hotel-room-trashing antics (seriously, have you ever been to a symphony after-party?).
