At a State Dinner in Qatar last week, the hosts arranged for the US National Anthem to be played by a string quintet, an unusual and (I thought) very attractive rendition. President Trump responded at the salute as the musicians played.
Lovely, particularly when compared to the ghastly R&B/rap versions we've heard elsewhere. I hope we hear more renditions of our Anthem along those lines.

Was the video started after the quintet had commenced, or was the anthem abbreviated?
Very tasteful rendition.
President Trump's response really says everything you need to know about him.
Civilians are supposed to place their right hand over their heart. Only the military in uniform deliver the hand salute.
Agreed in principle, but he's the Commander-in-Chief. I daresay he can do as he pleases.
I much rather see a bad salute than Barky's frank disrespect.
