"Sometimes an instrument will be left on a stand or in the hand from one track to another because it's better to keep them in the very warm conditions under the TV lights then take them out to a cooler place." I assume that this is in response to my earlier post. This might make sense if we could believe that all the filming took place at one time and they left the lights on continually - its clearly not that warm in there judging by Danny Thompson wearing a scarf last night! However, the Sobel octave mandolin I was referring to spent the whole of previous series appearing and disappearing from in front of the piano whilst never actually being played. Other than that, I don't think I've seen another instrument left on a stand. For those who no longer like the programme; don't watch it!
