A Japanese violinist without an arm was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the first in the world to play professionally with a prosthesis.
42-year-old Manami Ito has many talents, as evidenced by the fact that she represented her country in the Paralympic swimming games, worked as a nurse and recently entered the record books.
The Japanese woman has been playing the violin since childhood. However, after a car accident in 2004, she thought her music career was over. But thanks to a specially made prosthesis and three years of practice, Menami once again mastered the device. The woman uses her whole body and thus adjusts the angle of the strings. She also plays with a heavier cello bow with extra weight because she can't press it down on the strings with the same force.
