A quote for Wedding Music  Nottinghamshire   

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

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
