BBC getting it wrong when they get it right

So the BBC managed to include a clip from Song of Steel on Pick of the Week - apparently from a live production.

	Viola?
	Does anyone ever play viola in a folk context? I got myself a new large (16.75 inch) viola three years ago and it spent most of that time lent to my son, who replaced the tailpiece (original ebony with added fine tuners looking rather crude) with a modern metal tuner-equipped one and strung it with good quality Thomastiks.... more » By David Kilpatrick - Jul 7 - 24 new of 24 messages
