Fake Violin Busker

There was a "Fake Violin Busker", playing outside of Harris Teeter, Maple Lawn, Maryland, on Sunday July 30, 2023. If you notice, he's not actually playing the violin. His bowing technique is very abrupt, the bowing does not correspond to the notes he's playing, there's no concept of vibrato, and at times you hear the violin after he puts his bow down. This is a relatively new scheme by people masquerading as musicians in shopping centers, claiming to be in dire financial circumstances, trying to scam people out of their money.
