We vividly remember the image of Martin Lovett, the cellist of the legendary
Amadeus Quartet, bursting out laughing. He tells his favourite true travel story.

about to strap his cello into the seat next to him when a fellow traveller approaches
him. Oh no, marvels the inquisitive man, there's a whole string quartet on board.
