I hope you don't mind me asking you this, but my husband has played with quartets for weddings before (his primary string instrument is the bass violin), and has considered looking into how to possibly turn it into a business as well.

#6 - call the local musicians' union and ask, or call other musicians and ask them.

#10. Yep. It was...weird.
