And boy did they have fun, blasting inexpertly on trumpets, snorting down flutes trying to get a tune, making rude sounds come out of clarinets, screeching on violins and twanging guitars.

This did get the backgrounds nicely out of focus though and was less imposing for the kids than huge zoom lenses (also easier to manage as I was virtually crawling round the place.
