 Re: Mechanical Failure during a performance.

I remember reading of a prominent oboist who was to play with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra many years back. The orchestra played the intro to his solo piece, and as he raised the instrument to play the reed caught on his lapel and fell out. The conductor realised what was happening and smoothly took them through the intro again, while the oboist scrabbled under his chair for the reed. While doing this, he trod on it and squashed it flat.

A player in the orchestra passed him his instrument and he successfully played the piece on a strange instrument, with a reed of unknown characteristics. I can't speak for the absolute truth of this, but it's the sort of thing that nightmares are made of.
