Ensemble Sizes

We don’t just record as a quartet—you can hire us as a string trio, a larger string ensemble, or even add other instruments to perfectly suit your project’s scope. If you have limited studio space or a more minimal arrangement in mind, a string trio might be ideal, providing a full, balanced sound with fewer musicians. This setup remains cost-effective while still delivering the elegance of live strings.

For larger-scale recording projects or Concerts—like film scores or orchestral album tracks—we can expand to a string quartet or bigger ensemble. This ensures a richer, more immersive sonic experience. Whether your project requires intimate chamber textures or a grand orchestral feel, our trio, quartet, or extended ensemble is ready to make your vision a reality.

 

We can even add a Piano, Harp, or Flute

Whereas a String Trio Consists of 1 Violin, 1 Viola & 1 Cello.
