For this week's ABC Wednesday we have "V" for violas and violins - being hand-crafted at the RNCM and one of the activities in the build up to the annual Strings Weekend in November. The skilled professionals here include Helen Michetschlager and William Castle.
The Strings Weekend Inspired by Folk may have gone but you can hear some of the artists in action through the following links: Craig Ogden, Bach expert Simon Rowland-Jones, the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio, International Chair in Violin Yair Kless, violist Garth Knox, Scottish folk duo Catriona McKay and Chris Stout, and quirky Prague trio Bardolino. Listen here. 
lovely instruments - re voting - I gently push the page to various different groups over the three weeks voting is open and get quite a decent response - I use a spreadsheet to collate the votes
