No "instrument" is made from those, rather, they form an "instrumental group" commonly called a "trio".
well, it would be for FOUR instruments... usually 2 violins, a viola and a cello
A musical quartet may consist of whatever four instruments a composer or arranger chooses. Common combinations include: * 2 violins, viola, cello * violin, viola, cello, piano
A string quintet has 20 strings - 2 violins, 2 violas, 1 cello of 2 violins, 1 viola and 2 cellos
A 'standard' String Quartets will have 2 violins, a viola and a 'cello. However, there are some quartets (usually for early beginners in primary school) written for 3 violins & 'cello due to the relative rarity of violas at a young age.Further oddities do exist, and since the 20th Century all kinds of experimental configurations have been explored.Violin and cello.
The classical string quartet has a first and second violin, a viola and a cello. It was formalized by Franz Josef Haydn and perfected by him and Mozart. Nearly every classical composer since their time has written at least one string quartet.
4 - 2 violins 1 viola and 1 cello!
That song (just to say, it wasn't only violins and cellos. It was a quartet, so 2 violins, 1 viola, and a cello) is Vivaldi's Four Season's Winter I.
String quartets and musical chamber ensembles that generally have 2 violins, a viola and cello.
Strange as it may seem, there are four (4) players. Almost always in this configuration: * 2 Violins * 1 Viola * 1 Cello
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.
The Four Seasons is usually performed with a solo violin and string orchestra (violins, violas, celli, double basses and a harpsichord). Vivaldi's original arrangement was for solo violin with string quartet (violin, viola, cello) and basso continuo (cello or double bass and harpsichord or other chord instrument).
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.
