Good morning, I have always wondered what conductors do if someone who is to perform a solo has a some sort of issue with their instrument before the solo. Is there a backup soloist or a signal for someone else to take over? Are there spare instruments in case something goes wrong with an instrument during a performance?

That's great information. Thank you for the reply!

I'd never seen that happen before. That's really cool. It would definitely take a lot of practice to be able to just pick up where you should be in the piece after a gap like that... Just goes to show the true talent of the musicians who do that
