In an orchestra, recorders typically play a limited role, often as part of a smaller ensemble rather than the full orchestra. The recorder is a woodwind instrument that can play melodies and harmonies, but it is less commonly used compared to other woodwinds like flutes, clarinets, and oboes. In a standard orchestra setting, you might find one or two recorders, especially in pieces that specifically call for them, but they are not part of the core instrumentation.
there are 3 - 5 to flutes per orchestra :) or a least that is the number it says on google. there are 3 - 5 to flutes per orchestra :) or a least that is the number it says on google.
What a Flute is made of depends on the type of flute. Most flutes are made of metal, and these are the ones you'll see used in an orchestra. But there are bamboo and other wooden flutes. Additionally, the recorder, a type of flute, is made of plastic and is commonly available (as are other plastic flutes).
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.
