Hmmm! I might have enjoyed this better if I were more of a fan of the solo violin, but I'm not really and so this felt like quite a long twelve minutes. It features a Chaplin-esque gent with a bowler hat trying to convince his violin that it does actually want to be played. Both it and his hat - as well as his shoes, all seem to have minds of their own and being played properly isn't really on the agenda. Some of the visual effects are quite amusing as the instrument appears to be able to assemble and disassemble at will whilst still emanating a continual, recognisable and sometimes quite toe-tapping sound. Maybe the violin just wants to be left alone to play itself? Its simply too long but cleverly done at times and just about worth a watch.
