A quick heads up to say that Paul Jefferies is one of the featured instrument makers on the BBC 4 (UK TV) Scrapheap Orchestra.

Scrapheap Orchestra
" Is it possible for professional musicians from the BBC Concert Orchestra to make beautiful sounds out of garbage? This documentary aims to find out. For the first time ever an entire orchestra of 44 instruments will be built from just scrap. The quest to build an orchestra of instruments out of rubbish is more than just a musical spectacle - in the construction of these instruments we delve into the history of instrument making and the science of music, why different instruments are made the way they are, why some designs have not changed for hundreds of years and why, when played together, the sound of an orchestra is unlike anything else on earth."
Some may be able to see the program on BBC iPlayer.
