A violinist, a violist and a cellist have soloist seats in front of the orchestra, and they share just one bow, passing it to one another just in the nick of time. The orchestra is all pizzicato, so there really is only one bow. "But a cellist shouldn't use a violin bow," you think.

Recommended as a show-stopper! 2475422 String Orchestra . . . . . 62.00 Pepperoni Pizza Party Rock—Nicolas Repetto.
