Stuff like this is why I feel so sheepish when string players sometimes compliment me.
Listen to what they have to do ALL THE TIME...

We (tuba players covering our orchestral parts) really don't have any excuses.

The thing that gets me about even my 11yo's violin parts in youth orchestra is not only the complexity, technique, fine details (bowings, positions, fingerings, etc...), it's that IT IS ENDLESS. They get no rest. The mental stamina they need is unreal.
And the ear they need to develop to get their position shifts correct is so fine tuned.
