The Nashville String Machine

The Nashville String Machine is a musical collective comprising session musicians, based in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Members of the group have been credited on records dating from 1972 to the present, although the group was formally formed as "The Nashville String Machine" in 1981. The group was formed by violinist and concertmaster Carl J. Gorodetzky and his wife (also violinist) Carol W. Gorodetsky. They take care of contracting arrangers, players and studio support as needed; their available supply of potential orchestra members is up to 80 strong. Since the required number of orchestra members varies from project to project, individual members come and go.
