The Fiddle Comes Home

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

For ten years a violin lay gathering dust in an East London attic. Built by a student of Stradivarius, it was once owned by a miner's son who went on to lead the Halle Orchestra. Now worth a six-figure sum, it is played by Peter Hanson who traces the instrument's history. Producer Paul Kobrak
