What has been written about Wedding Quartets.  Hitchin   

Literature has many references about wedding quartets and their instruments. Here are some examples-

One day ... my wife and I were walking, and as we passed a second-hand music shop, there in the window stood the one thing which I had wanted to own and play ever since I could remember. There it stood: fat, solid, charming in every way—a tuba! The next thing I knew was that I had bought him, and my wife and I were carrying him across Piccadilly Circus in the pouring rain. At home we gave him a nice bath and a rub. For the next three days I produced a series of noises so dreadful and so sordid that a rumor went about in the neighborhood that we were keeping a live elephant in the bath. But on the fourth day I was able to make some quite nice noises ... Gerard Hoffnung (1925—59) Music Club, BBC broadcast, 1954
