Are you reading this at the moment Lord B? Or have you already finished it?

Yes, I always feel it a shame that the Oxford violin, or any violin in a show case isn't played! The RAM museum at York Gate has lots of beautiful violins and keyboards, the violins are certainly regularly played apparently so that is pleasing!!
