Quartet With A Twist (QWAT) is a string quartet based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, comprised of conservatory students from around the country.

The ‘Twist’ in QWAT’s name stands for their unique instrumentation – instead of the standard two violins, viola and cello, the cello has been replaced with a double bass! As a result, QWAT’s sound is unique and sets them apart from other string quartets.
