acoustic trio
Three unamplified musicians
An acoustic trio is a musical group of three performers using non-electric instruments—typically some combination of guitar, upright bass, violin, or vocals.
The term distinguishes such groups from amplified or electronic ensembles: The café features an acoustic trio on weekends.
Jazz and folk settings commonly use this format.
