Comments: Popular harmony group formed in 1896 as the Edison Male Quartet. When they started recording for labels other than Edison in 1899, they began using the name Haydn Quartet. The group used both names (with variants) until at least 1908, ultimately becoming just the Haydn Quartet. The group sang sentimental ballads, old standards and hymns.
Members: S. H. Dudley
