I didn't realise it was the answer... and am somewhat incommoded with work, hence the delay. Hence also that I don't think I can come up with and caretake a "G". I only got where I did due to Ammy51: may I offer him the chance of setting the "G"?

Just a timing alert here - I'll be having an early night - approx 21:45 shut down - and then I have a mega-busy day tomorrow, stopping out overnight (Mat-ronne!) and not back til Saturday midmorning at a guess.
So .... get those axons & dendrites working guys n gals
I am proceeding (in slightly brain-dead mode this evening, it must be said) on the basis that the blighters in your quezzie are all composers. Am I far off the beam??

Andrea, Giuseppe, Pietro, Arnold, John, Michael and David
well I'm thinking these are Gabrieli, Verdi, Mascagni, Schoenberg and three others
your clue suggests a string ensemble, like members of a string quartet, perhaps?
or it could be Pietro Locatelli
might not be Verdi, could be Tartini or other Giuseppes
a-ha! further research reveals that the members of the Guarneri Quartet consist of
Arnold Steinhardt, John Dalley, Michael Tree, David Soyer/Peter Willey
and more research tells me that the Guarneri family of luthiers consisted of Andrea, Giuseppe and Pietro didn't know that the proper name for violin makers was luthiers (says wikipedia)
so I reckon G = Guarneri

Not sure which is more brilliant, the question setting or the answering skill !! I even thought of Guarneri at one point last night, but did I carry it through? Nope!!
all round for brekkers!
