[ackimdead]

that certainly looks like a sextet...

[borbetomagus]

@ackimdead Raymond Scott though 'Quintette' (his spelling) sounded "crisper"; he also told a reporter that he feared "calling it a 'sextet' might get your mind off music."

[jwellingtonwimpy1]

@ackimdead "here's Raymond Scott with a quintette" the man says at the start. 1+5=6. The math's all good.

[mrpatrickworks]

@jwellingtonwimpy1 ... Look him up on Wikipedia. All that's explained by the man himself. He was irreverent to say the least.
