Removed the following:

When the elite practiced hunting as a prestigious outdoors social activity, music was often present at any stage, indeed the court of Versailles had composers such as the Danican family and Philidor write special symphonies for a court orchestra to accompany the royal hunt party, prominently featuring percussion and winds but also including non-signal instruments, even strings.

because it doesn't seem to refer to "Signal instruments" but rather to music. The final paragraph on marching music doesn't really fit, either, although there may be a historical connection not yet mentioned in the article.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
