A quote for Wedding Quartets.  Berkhamsted   

Wedding Quartets and similar ensembles have been mentioned in novels and plays. Here are some quotations:-

The gentlemen in private meeting . . . played three, four and five parts with viols . . . and they esteemed a violin to be an instrument only belonging to a common fiddler, and could not endure that it should come among them for fear of making their meetings to be vain and fiddling. Anthony Wood (1632—95) Antiquities, 1674
