The String Family Coffee, Cake and Culture - The Music Podcast

Welcome to Series 2 of Coffee Cake and Culture the Music Podcast. People attend orchestral concerts and can name the instruments, but the actual physicality, dimension, sound production, history and function of most instruments remains a mystery. This series looks at each family of instruments, some lesser known instruments and the role of the conductor.
In Episode One of Series 2, Andy and Rob dive deep into the String section.
The String Section
The String section is the biggest family in the orchestra and although the instruments all look the same, they have many varying characteristics. The perfect cake for this section is a Vanilla Cake! A great Vanilla Cake is an essential for any baker just like a great string section is essential for any great orchestra. Have a look at the website for the Vanilla Cake recipe and enjoy.
