Well I for one would have expected a rougher sound than the near perfection demanded and got by the snobby professionals!
(ok not all of 'em just how I felt)

the instrument makers were the real heroes and one who was badly upset probably needs some counselling sessions now (he was well taken out of his comfort zone) the violin maker, he learned most if he can live with it!

The players made excellent use of these newly devised and created instruments, using scrap materials by and large

I think it was the flautist lady that was particularly good

Loved the ingenuity and shapes

Bottom line, much prefer the folk instruments and the artistic freedom of folk song (in particular) and the folky instruments. I don't go for perfection and like the raw edges. I can sleep to anything~ lol
