In my excitement due to high numbers overall and *a double bass player!*🥳 I took two terrible photos this afternoon. Must take more time and care over these in future! Great to have so many players and to hear the progress we made in the pieces! #adultbeginnerstrings @classicalsheffield.bsky.social
