This weekend the Painted Hall at Greenwich serves as the impressively grandiose venue for the exhibition part of the Early Music Festival, for makers and suppliers of music and musical instruments.
And an amazing collection of harps and harpsichords, recorders, viols, crumhorns, shawms, bagpipes and other products of great artistry and craftsmanship it turns out to be.
Complete with a programme of concerts by professionals and students, it (almost) inspires a desire to have a go oneself. 
Round about this time of year we sometimes have concerts of music on old instruments. I am not always wholly entranced, some of them do make a racket!
