“I remember one time years ago, when we were in the old studios at Hindmarsh Square. The conductor was not satisfied with the tuning of the violins, so he stopped the rehearsal and said that he wanted all violins line up outside his room, then each violinist in turn would come in and tune in front of him until he was satisfied. Well, the leader did this, then the deputy leader. But from there on, these same two violins were handed on right down the line, until everyone had been in!”
