A string ensemble is a small group of musicians who play varying types of stringed instruments. These include violin, viola, cello and double bass. A duet is made up of two players, a trio includes three, a quartet includes four, and five make up a quintet. The string quartet is the most popular type of ensemble used for weddings and receptions; trios are common as well. A string quartet is traditionally made up of two violins, one viola and one cello. A trio will usually include either one violin, one viola and one cello, or two violins and one cello. What type/size of ensemble would you suggest for my event? The size of the ensemble is determined by a number of different factors. The location of your event and the number of guests or attendees is the place to begin. You want your sound to fill the space so all of the guests can hear this beautiful element of your event. Outdoor locations have a bigger space to fill and often less favorable acoustics. Some general guidelines to use as a starting point for consideration: 50-75 guests - solo or duo 75-125 guests - duo or trio 125-175 guests - trio or quartet 175 and over - quartet, quintet or more Do you offer services for instruments outside of the string family? Yes! The Appalachian Chamber Ensemble is comprised of many talented musicians from diverse musical backgrounds. We offer any combination of instrument ensembles including, but not limited to: violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, bass, flute, trumpet, harp, piano and voice.
