最早的西洋乐队里只有弓弦乐器——除提琴类外,还有曾广泛流行于文艺复兴时期的维奥尔(Viol)。然而,到了十七世纪末,由于维奥尔音色柔和、略感沉闷,而为发音响亮有力的小提琴所排挤。第一个常设的弦乐队1610年出现于法国王宫,被称为“御前廿四把小提琴”,到五十年代由当时的大音乐家吕里(Lully)领导。在十七世纪的器乐作品(组曲、短序曲、嬉游曲等)中,管乐器只用来与弦乐器交替演奏,或(更多地是)重复相应音域的弦乐器声部。当时的乐器(维奥尔、诗琴、小提琴、竖笛、长号等),各自形成尺寸、音域不同的和人声(女高、女低、男高、男低)相对应的一组。达是由于此前的管弦乐写作,都是 The earliest Western band included only bowed stringed instruments - in addition to the violins, there was the popular Viol in the Renaissance.

In seventeenth-century instrumental works (suite, short prelude, playwright, etc.), wind instruments are used only to alternate with stringed instruments or, more often, to repeat the stringed instrument parts of the corresponding range. The instruments of the time (violins, violins, violins, clarinet, trombone, etc.) each formed a set of sizes and vocalizations that corresponded to vocal (female, female, male, male).
