Cellist plays Bach to full flight at 35,000 feet

Cellist plays Bach to full flight at 35,000 feet

Cellist Frances Borowsky offered to entertain bored passengers. She tells slippedisc.com:

‘Navigating the tight spaces with my bow and instrument was no small feat! Even sitting diagonally into the throughway required that I tilt the instrument left or right according to the strings I was playing on, so as not to hit the bow into either wall.’

Anyone else tried it?
