A quintet is usually comprised of 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, and 1 double bass. I have seen variations of that though. One example is a quintet by Schubert (op. 163), which calls for 2 cellos--the second one replacing the double bass.
Why is a musical ensemble consisting of two violins a viola and a cello called a quartet?
I'm sure violins could end up playing with all sorts of instruments; however, I think the most common ensembles a violin plays in are with the cello, bass, and viola. Quintets with 2 violins, a viola, a cello, and a bass are quite ordinary. Quartets with 2 violins, a viola, and a cello are also widespread. Duets and trios can be found for almost any type of instrumentation if you look in a music store. And if you didn't know, the orchestra is probably the most familiar ensemble in which a violin plays. I hope I answered your question.
