In the 17th and 18th centuries the Dutch employed, and presumably trained, people from Indonesia to make music for them during their self-imposed imprisonment in the trade settlement in Deshima Japan. There are drawings of a cello (? a large bowed instrument) player and a trumpet player that I know of.
