In general, the flutes are found behind the second violins, near the rear of the orchestra and to the left (from the conductor's perspective) of other, deeper woodwinds such as the oboes and clarinets. This mirrors the arrangement of the strings, which also go clockwise around the conductor from the higher-pitched first violins around to the deep double basses. Depending on the size of the orchestra and the stage, brasses such as horns may be situated behind or to the left of the flutes.
There are all sorts of instruments in an orchestra such as: Flutes/Piccolos Clarinets Tubas Violins Violas Harp Trumpets Trombones French Horns Timpani Bassoons Saxophones (Tenor or Soprano)
Some instruments that are used in a chamber orchestra are bassoons, oboes, clarinets, flutes, and piccolos. Trumpets, trombones, French horns, drums, violins, and cellos are also used. A chamber orchestra will have between 50 or 60 instruments.
