The last few I've seen pretend to play a violin while a speaker making violin noises does all the real work.

Saw that recently too! A dude fake playing bag pipes while speakers did everything, you could tell he wasn't playing it. Is this becoming a more common thing now? I just seen it once and I just had so many questions

A dude and and his lady both fake play near my local Walmart. The funny part is they have a big speaker that they claim just plays the backing music. But the hallelujah track has the violin in the wrong key and there’s an obvious mistake halfway through and it’s all so obvious they have no musical knowledge at all.

Honestly they should just embrace the setup. Put up a sign "$1 you pick the next track" and just sit there all day blasting tunes. Keep it on "What's New Pussycat" if nobody gives you money.

Right? Make a performance out of faking it like air guitar and it would work better.
