How does a string quartet differ from a string trio?
A string quartet is not necessarily louder, it has rather a fuller and richer sound than a trio. The main diference though, between the two lies in the repertoire choices available – the quartet is able to play latin and jazz selections on top of the standard classical/wedding songs, while the trio is limited only to classical music. In many cases the choice between trio and quartet will probably depend mostly on how long the group should play for after the ceremony. If it is over 2hrs, a quartet is probably preferable.
